Self-selected Works―Paintings

In 2014, renowned Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara celebrated his 30th anniversary as a creator.

He personally selected over 100 works, including carefully chosen paintings and drawings. This book features not only Nara's signature series of large-headed children with piercing eyes, but also works from his time studying in Germany.

A definitive collector's edition for posterity has been born. This is the long-awaited volume for Nara fans, as no comprehensive art book of his paintings has been published in Japan since 2001.

"The sensation in your fingertips is incredibly important. Painting shares common ground with calligraphy,
so when referencing past memories, there are movements your body remembers.
There's no tension there. It really is a dialogue with the painting."
——Yoshitomo Nara
