Artists

Motoichiro Takebe

This is the first posthumous exhibition for this artist who had a wildly enthusiastic following for his exotic, detailed and lyrical portrayals of Sci-Fi heroes and heroines in the 1960s and 70s. After winning critical acclaim for his illustrations and covers of children's picture books in the 1950s, he became a pioneer in the field of Sci-Fi illustration with the 1965 publication of "Princess of Mars." This exhibition will center on original drawings from the publishing houses that spread his name, and also includes early picture story shows and picture book covers.
