"Awazu Kiyoshi: Graphics in the Wilderness" is a collection of works by Kiyoshi Awazu (1929-2009), a leading figure in postwar graphic design. Born in 1929, he was self-taught in painting and design. In 1955, he won the Nissenbi Prize at the Japan Advertising Artists Association Exhibition, a competition that was a gateway to success for graphic designers at the time, for his poster work "Give Umi Back." In 1960, he joined the Metabolism group, founded by architects such as Kisho Kurokawa. Awazu Kiyoshi produced highly original images that set him apart from the postwar modern design trends of Yusaku Kamekura and others. Although he passed away in 2009, his unique creativity continues to inspire today, with numerous exhibitions held since his death. This book is a collection of works from the catalog published in conjunction with the "Graphism in the Wilderness: Kiyoshi Awazu" exhibition held at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa in 2007. The book is also impressive for its elaborate book design by Shin Sobue. (The cover and pages have some water marks, moisture, and wavy marks.)
