Postmodern Advertising in Japan: Seduction, Visual Culture, and the Tokyo Art Directors Club (Interfaces: Studies in Visual Cult,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In a study driven by stunning images of Japanese advertisements and the artworks they quote from, Ory Bartal offers a firstofitskind interpretation of the postmodern genre of advertising in Japan, which both shaped and reflected the new consumerdriven culture that arose during the bubble era of the 1980s and 1990s. Through a fascinating tale of art directors and their works and influences, Bartal shows how this postmodern visual language, like postmodernism in other streams, is distinguished by its mlange of styles, blurring of boundaries between art and design, and reliance on visual and textual quotations from sources past and present, domestic and foreign. Although this advertising culture partakes of global trends, Bartal draws attention to the varied local artistic sensibilities, structures of thought, and underlying practices, challenging the oftensimplistic characterization of Japaneseness as being rooted in a Zen tradition of aesthetic indirectness and ambiguity. Combining multilingual scholarship with a wealth of information gleaned through years of personal interviews with the principals involved, this is a truly original contribution to the discussion of Japanese art and advertising as well as an insightful reading of more general issues in the study of visual culture and media.
