JAPAN THE BEAUTY OF FOOD

New York: RIZZOLI, 1987. Hardcover. Color photo boards. Very good. Unpaginated [166 pp.] 27 x 27 cm. "The delight that the severity, charm, simplicity and delicacy of Japanese objects and procedures calls forth among Western observers has its roots in a different sensibility and a different self-image. If it invites one, as do the food still life Reinhart Wolf has photographed, to contemplate things in isolation, one should never forge that each Japanese work of art is. never the product of any isolated activity" - Adolf Muschg. Beautifully photo illustrated. Interior clean. Illustrated boards lightly rubbed.
