"Venus: Space Beauty (Parco View 8)" is a collection of works by Peter Sato (1945-1994), one of Japan's leading illustrators. Sato, who gained attention from the late 1970s with his unique expression using airbrushing and was active in a wide range of fields including advertising, magazines, and fashion, published this important early work in 1981 as the eighth volume of PARCO Publishing's "PARCO VIEW" series. Centered around a female figure titled "VENUS," the book combines smooth gradients of skin, sharply emphasized eye makeup and lips, and geometric forms to create a futuristic world that seems to float between the boundary between real women and artificial images. It offers a comprehensive view of the prototype of Peter Sato's later widely known depiction of women. In addition to the artwork, it also includes a dialogue with Tadanori Yokoo, an essay by Kansai Yamamoto, and "NEW YORK DOLLS by PATER SATO." This book conveys the PARCO culture of the early 1980s, when illustration, advertising, fashion, and graphic design were closely intertwined, and its glamorous visual expression. Published in 1982, second printing. (First edition: 1981)
