Authors on Asia: William Marotti
Sunday, September 22, 2 p.m.
William Marotti will discuss and sign Money, Trains, and Guillotines: Art and Revolution in 1960s Japan. In 1960, the Japanese government renewed its Cold War partnership with the United States, defeating protests against a new security treaty through parliamentary action and riot police. The government then promoted a sanitized national image to present for the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. Artists were the first to challenge this new political mythology. Marotti examines their political art, and the state's aggressive response to it. Books available for purchase and signing, light refreshments. RSVP to the Museum Store at 626-449-2742 x 20.
