During the 1960s and '70s in Japan, the photobook—through a combination of excellence in design, printing, and materials—overtook prints as a popular mode of artistic dissemination. This process has expanded to an extent where any discussion of Japanese photography now has to include the book work. Today, the most famous works—such as Nobuyoshi Araki’s Sentimental Journey and E...(展开全部)

Intermedia and Expanded Cinema, both as critical approach and artistic practice, left an indelible mark in a period of Japanese art history that is broadly considered to be one of its most dynamic moments in the wake of its postwar reemergence.

Out of a background of war, occupation and the legacies of Japan's post-defeat politics there emerged a dissentient group of avant-garde filmmakers who created a counter-cinema that addressed a newly constituted, politically conscious audience. While there was no formal manifesto for this movement and the various key filmmakers of the period (Oshima Nagisa, Imamura Shohei, Yosh...(展开全部)

一九四零至六零年代是香港歷史上一個高低跌宕的重要時期。日軍三年零八個月的蹂躪、大量難民的湧入、動亂的爆發；在此等百廢待興，物貨匱乏的情況下，莫不令市民生活百上加斤。縱然危機處處，但港人非但沒有退縮，反之在堅毅不屈、努力不懈的努力下，轉危為機，成就了一九七零年代以來香港經濟騰飛的奇蹟。 歷史上，一九四零至六零年代是艱苦的年代；但在攝影史上，卻是技術大躍進的年代。這期間的香港景物攝影圖像開始從黑白單色進入了直接彩色年代。書中精選的一百四十多幅彩色圖像，正是依據原本顏色來複製的直接彩色攝影科技而產生，是香港最早一批高度存真的圖像，極之難得。書中圖像分為彩色舊貌、城市新觀及生活點滴三部分，透過此等圖像，將這個重要而轉折的歷史時代的香港面貌呈現在讀者眼前。

In the 1960s art fell out of time; both artists and critics lost their temporal bearings in response to what E. M. Cioran called "not being entitled to time." This anxiety and uneasiness about time, which Pamela Lee calls "chronophobia," cut across movements, media, and genres, and was figured in works ranging from kinetic sculptures to Andy Warhol films. Despite its pervasiven...(展开全部)
