On June 2, Kyoto University of Art and Design Associate Professor Yoko Hayashi gave a special Gallery Talk on Tokyo Fuji Art Museum’s main exhibition, “The Illustrated Books of Leonard Foujita.” Dr. Hayashi is an acknowledged expert on Foujita, having published two books on the artist and his works.
In her hour-long Gallery Talk, Dr. Hayashi examined illustrated books in general, including their history and the publishing business that Foujita had to contend with, as well as various episodes regarding the artist’s works. A Q&A session followed her talk.
