Reseña del editor:
Acclaimed furniture designer George Nakashima (1905-1990) made boldly original pieces prized for their superb craftsmanship and their organic use of the natural lines and grain of wood. Today his beautiful creations are avidly sought by private collectors and are housed in museum collections all over the world. This survey of Nakashima's life and work written by his daughter, the noted designer Mira Nakashima is the most revealing look we have ever had at this woodworking genius and his profound influence on contemporary design. Mira Nakashima chronicles not only the furniture designs for which her father was best known, but also his equally fine work as an architect. Illustrated with a wealth of photographs never before published and containing much new information from the Nakashima studio archives, Nature, Form, and Spirit is timed to coincide with the release of a full-length documentary film on Nakashima and an exhibition at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego. In exploring his personal and philosophic journey, Mira Nakashima provides a remarkable look at the development of an artist whose reverence for nature was at the heart of his creative work.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Brown cloth boards with white lettering on the spine; colorful photo-illustrated DJ; 275 pp.; richly illustrated. "George Nakashima (1905-1990) is best known for his unique pieces of furniture, which are prized for their respect for the natural forms of the tree and the inherent grain of the wood. This remarkable creative spirit was also an architect, who designed a number of distinguished buildings during his career. Above all, he was a man committed to the integration of his life as an artist with the rhythms of the natural world. Working with his family and a crew of workmen in his studio, he left a rich legacy, not only the works of his extraordinary personal artistry, but a creative tradition that continues to flourish in the Nakashima Studio today. Told by Nakashima's daughter and colleague, the designer Mira Nakashima, this story of the artist's life examines not only the furniture and the architecture that he designed, but also the philosophical and spiritual underpinning of his work, his personal worldview, his quest for the integration of humanity and nature, and for world peace." "Lavishly illustrated with superb photographs of Nakashima's work, many taken expressly for this book, and with documentary photographs from the Nakashima archive, Nature, Form, and Spirit: The Life and Legacy of George Nakashima is an insightful and beautiful evocation. VG+ (light edgewear to DJ, boards; interior clean; binding is solid.). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 194768

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A heavy and elegant horizontal quarto. Binding square and firm. Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -- the first printing. Hand-dated December 2003 and signed "Mira Nakashima" (George's daughter, here signing her full name) to the title page. Then, above that -- with a different pen but in the same hand -- she has inscribed "for Marc -- on December 24, 2009 / Best Wishes!" Born in Spokane, Washington, George Katsutoshi Nakashima himself (1905-1990) was an American woodworker, architect, and furniture maker, one of the leading innovators of 20th century furniture design and a father of the American craft movement. In 1931, after earning a master's degree in architecture from M.I.T., Nakashima sold his car and purchased a round-the-world tramp steamship ticket. Eventually reaching Japan, he went to work for Antonin Raymond, an American architect who had collaborated with Frank Lloyd Wright on the Imperial Hotel. While working for Raymond, Nakashima toured Japan extensively, studying the subtleties of Japanese architecture and design. In 1940 Nakashima returned to America, and began to make furniture and teach woodworking in Seattle. Like others of Japanese ancestry, he was interned during the Second World War and sent to Camp Minidoka in Hunt, Idaho, in March 1942. At the camp he met Gentaro (sometimes spelled Gentauro) Hikogawa, a man trained in traditional Japanese carpentry. Under his tutelage, Nakashima learned to master traditional Japanese hand tools and joinery techniques. In 1943, Antonin Raymond successfully sponsored Nakashima?s release from the camp and invited him to his farm in New Hope, Pennsylvania, where Nakashima established his studio and workshop. Nakashima's signature woodworking design was his large-scale tables made of large wood slabs with smooth tops but unfinished natural edges, often consisting of multiple, matching slabs connected with butterfly joints. In 1983, he accepted the Order of the Sacred Treasure, an honor bestowed by the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Author Mira Nakashima, his daughter, received her masters degree in architecture ferom Waseda University, Tokyo. She worked for years as a colleague and designer in her father's workshop. Upon his death in 1990, she became creative director of the Nakashima Studio, New Hope, Pennsylvania. 276 pp. including index & photography credits. This is a heavy book which would be likely to cost $70 to ship overseas. Book here reduced from $1,200. Inscribed by Author(s). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 011556
