In Teraoka's paintingswhich have evolved from his wry mimicry of Japanese woodblock prints to much larger and complex canvasses reminiscent of Bosch and Brueghelthe political and the personal collide in a riot of sexually frank tableaux. Populated by geishas and goddesses, priests, and politicians, and prominent contemporary figures, these paintings are the spectacular next phase of a wildly inventive career. With essays by renowned art critics who discuss how Teraoka's work inventively marries east and west, sex and religion, \u003ci\u003eAscending Chaos\u003c\/i\u003e is a critical overview of this cultural trickster.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Ascending Chaos: The Art of Masami Teraoka | Catharine Clark | Hardcover | 9780811850971 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks J 1774737","offer_id":49683128385688,"sku":"1774737","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/8116UJV7GaL.jpg?v=1786647762","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ascending-chaos-the-art-of-masami-teraoka","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
