会田誠作品集天才でごめんなさい: monument for nothing, tensai de gomen nasai

"This comprehensive catalogue on Aida Makoto is published in conjunction with a retrospective organised by the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. Known for his provocative paintings, which tackle social issues in Japan such as the sexual objectification of schoolgirls and violent nationalism, the artist is recognised as a preeminent figure of Japanese contemporary art. His body of work, with its internal contradictions and irrationality, covers manga, painting, video, photography, sculpture, and installation, all of which are detailed here. Informative short texts by the artist about his works appear throughout, plus in-depth critical analyses by Kataoka Mami, David Elliott and Yamashita Yuji."--Amazon.com.
