TERADA KATSUYA SKETCH Recommended. A giant collection: 500 pages of Katsuya Terada's "Rakugaki" sketches and illustrations. A pioneer who is always seeking new ideas and motifs, he reminds me sometimes of Moebius, but he's all his own artist. Many nudes. Although most illustrations in this collection have appeared in Terada's previous international exhibitions (e.g., Giant Robot in Los Angeles), never before has any book collected so many of his Rakugaki. This is the best and most comprehensive collection of Terada's pencil sketches.PIE, 2022. Mature Readers....More. Item Code: TERKA Soft Cover, 6x8, 512pg, Partial Color |
