The Politics of Painting: Fascism and Japanese Art during the Second World War<\/em> by Asato Ikeda, published by the University of Hawaii Press, 2018.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Politics of Painting<\/em> examines a set of paintings produced in Japan during the 1930s and early 1940s that have received little scholarly attention. Dr. Ikeda views the work of four prominent artists of the time \u2014Yokoyama Taikan, Yasuda Yukihiko, Uemura Sh\u014den, and Fujita Tsuguharu\u2014 through the lens of fascism, showing how their seemingly straightforward paintings of Mount Fuji, samurai, beautiful women, and the countryside supported the war by reinforcing a state ideology that justified violence in the name of the country’s cultural authenticity. She highlights the politics of “apolitical” art and challenges the postwar labelling of battle paintings\u00a0\u2014those depicting scenes of war and combat\u2014 as uniquely problematic.<\/p>\n

Focusing on Japanese fascism and the Second World War, the book makes major contributions to the study of Japanese art and modernity. It reveals the global dimensions of wartime nationalist art, opening up the possibility of dialogue with scholarship on art exhibited and produced in other nations around the same time, particularly in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ikeda will give a presentation about the book, followed by a discussion and Q&A period moderated by Cultural Mediations PhD students Victoria Nolte and Emily Putnam. Refreshments will be served.<\/p>\n
