Artists
Fumiko Takahashi, Chihiro Minato, Takashi Hirade
The revolutionary Crystal Cage publishings, released for the first time last fall, are making waves by quietly overturning the conventional wisdom of the reading world. Featuring new works by writers and translators and research on authors, this series aims to nurture the roots of art and closely examine ideological movements.
The third series of talks welcomes Fumiko Takahashi, translator of Franz Marc’s “Letters From the War.” Takahashi will discuss the appeal of Marc’s depictions of animals. Part Two features author and photographer Chihiro Minato, who will talk about her book “Places and Books,” which explores animal imagery in cave drawings and ancient texts. Refreshments will be available at the Tokyo Family Restaurant and publications including a selection of secondhand books and a catalogue of valuable works by Tokyo Publishing House can be purchased at Sendagi Book Café Bousingot.
[Event Schedule]
Part 1
Talk by Fumiko Takahashi and Takashi Hiraide
In “Letters From the War,” author Franz Marc went beyond painting animals to viewing the world through their eyes. Setting himself apart from Kadinsky and Klee, he probed the psychology of the artist gazing at the battlefield.
Part 2
Talk by Chihiro Minato and Takashi Hiraide “Places and Books: Animals and Books”
“Places and Books” explores the symbolism of animals, from depictions of horses and felines on cave wall drawings to the use of animal skin for ancient documents.
