Old Taoist: The Life, Art, and Poetry of Kodojin (1865-1944)

Stephen Addiss; J. Thomas Rimer

In the literary and artistic milieu of early modern Japan the Chinese and Japanese arts flourished side by side. Kodô jin, the "Old Taoist" (1865-1944), was the last of these great poet-painters in Japan. Under the support of various patrons, he composed a number of Taoist-influenced Chinese and Japanese poems and did lively and delightful ink paintings, continuing the tradition of the poet-sage who devotes himself to study of the ancients, lives quietly and modestly, and creates art primarily for himself and his friends.Portraying this last representative of a tradition of gentle and refined artistry in the midst of a society that valued economic growth and national achievement above all, this beautifully illustrated book brings together 150 of Kodôjin's Chinese poems (introduced and translated by Jonathan Chaves), more than 100 of his haiku and tanka (introduced and translated by Stephen Addiss), and many examples of his calligraphy and ink paintings. Addiss´s in-depth introduction details the importance of the poet-painter tradition, outlines the life of Kodôjin, and offers a critical appraisal of his work, while J. Thomas Rimer´s essay puts the literary work of the Old Taoist in context.

The Art of Zen: Paintings and Calligraphy by Japanese Monks 1600-1925

Stephen Addiss

The Art of Zen brings together the great masterpieces of paintings and calligraphy created by Japanese monks, who turned to visual imagery as an aid to meditation, as an expression of enlightenment, and as the purest form of transmitting Zen principles. Created spontaneously, Zen art ranges from intensely brushed calligraphic poems and emphatically gestural abstract shapes, to roughly hewn, often humorous portraits of the Zen patriarch and his famous followers. The accompanying text explains the fundamentals of Zen culture and includes numerous translations of Zen prose, poetry, and sayings.

Robert Motherwell on Paper: Drawings, Prints, Collages

Stephen Addiss; Robert Motherwell; Arthur C. Danto; Mary Ann Caws

The Abstract Expressionist artist Robert Motherwell (1915-1991) was best known as a painter, but he also created a remarkable body of works on paper. The drawings, prints, and collages in this book show a more intimate side of his visual sensibility; they reveal the very personal "handwriting" of the artist as he responded to the subtleties of paper, both as a medium and a material. Motherwell was in fact a most extraordinary draftsman, as this volume testifies. Reproduced in color and in a generous format are more than a hundred of the artist's finest works on paper. The book is published to accompany an exhibition at the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University - an exhibition that was conceived and developed in discussions with the artist during the final year of his life. For this celebration of Motherwell's creative legacy, David Rosand has gathered a distinguished group of contributors. Together, their essays on different aspects of Motherwell's work create a complex picture of a multifaceted artist.
