Particular attention is given to prominent yōga painters such as Fujita Tsuguharu, Yasui Sōtarō, Matsumoto Shunsuke, and Yamashita Kiyoshi—all of whom achieved fame for their images of men either during or after the Asia-Pacific War. By closely investigating the representation of male figures together with the contemporary politics of gender, race, and the body, this profusely illustrated volume offers new insight into artists’ activities in late Imperial Japan. Rather than adhering to the previously held model of unilateral control governing the Japanese Empire’s visual regime, the author proposes a more complex analysis of the role of Japanese male artists and how art functioned during an era of international turmoil.Japanese visual culture ;Volume 14.Painting, JapaneseWestern styleSino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Art and the warWorld War, 1939-1945Art and the warMen in artWar in artWorld War, 1939-1945PropagandaPropaganda, JapaneseElectronic books.Painting, JapaneseWestern style.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945World War, 1939-1945Men in art.War in art.World War, 1939-1945Propaganda.Propaganda, Japanese.759.95209044Kaneko Maki995178MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465741003321Mirroring the Japanese empire : the male figure in yōga painting, 1930-19502279554UNINA
