By Yasushi Kurabayashi, "Listening to Contemporary Art: 20th Century Music and Today's Art" This thrilling and intellectual book by art critic Yasushi Kurabayashi explores contemporary art ("visual") through the structure of music ("auditory"). Published by Skydoor in 1995, it is now out of print and a very rare find. The book vividly analyzes the essence of leading contemporary Japanese artists, using the structure of classical and contemporary music as a guide. More than just a commentary on artworks, it's a landmark of cultural criticism and art theory that reconsiders "what art since the 20th century has been trying to express" through the two major axes of music and art. A must-have resource for art fans, music lovers, and those interested in contemporary thought. Thank you for viewing.
