Publisher's Comments
In his review of Japan's avant-garde community during the 1950s and '60s, Havens (history, Northeastern U.) draws on extensive archival research, concerts, performances, exhibits and interviews with more than 50 artists and critics during that inventive period. Havens finds that generational and political differences, not artistic doctrines, largely account for the divergent stances artists took in response to modernism, the international arts community, Japan's ties to the US, and the alliance of corporate and bureaucratic interests that solidified in Japan in the 1960s.
