Black boards in Dustwrap with Obi. Text in English and Japanese. Numerous Colour and Black &#038; White plates. <\/p>\n<p\/>Beautiful diary of London in &#8217;77 with photographs, snapshots and ephemera. &#8220;An established Japanese artist since the 1980s, best known as a painter, Shinro Ohtake has produced dozens of books incorporating collage, drawing, painting, sculpture as well as photography. In 1977 at age 22 Ohtake spent time In London documenting through a reduced photography style, drawing, painting and obsessive scrapbooks of ephemera. What emerges is a grim portrait of England still mired in the drab left overs of the 60s but with odd flashes of excitement; on the cusp of the emergence of Punk. Moreover it is a particularly lonely portrait of youth with the artist himself sketching figures in pubs and parks and on trains, collecting matchbooks and bus tickets and traipsing the streets, photographing frenetically.&#8221; Parr\/Badger vol.3.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1162574430\/b5d44eb98f?fl=tl&#038;fe=ec\" style=\"color: #666; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See inside<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12824,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[23,17],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12908","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fine-art","7":"product_cat-new-recommended","9":"first","10":"outofstock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12908"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12908"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
