Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of b/w drawings, b/w, color and duo-tone photographic reproductions of female nudes, this work is a monograph on the art and techniques of Hayashi Takeshi (1896-1975), a Western-style Japanese painter whose first paintings were clearly influenced by Matisse and Derain. His talent won him many awards in exhibitions throughout Japan, a chair at the Tokyo Geijutsu Daigaku (Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music) and he received the prestigious Order of Culture (Bunka-sho) in 1967. Hayashi's "mature" paintings tended to be more cubist in their style.
