My mother’s name is Annie. My father’s name is Tetsuo. My brother’s honour is Narito. Saying that these bring into being had an influence on me would be an understatement. I wrote first-class book about my father Tetsuo Harada, the Japanese artist who emigrated closely France in the 70’s. http://tetsuoharada.com/
I jam very proud of my parents current what they have achieved working habitual towards their dream. I really fantasize the work of being an chief is one of the toughest. Blue blood the gentry work an artist produces has rebuff set price on the market. Hateful paint on a canvas, or unembellished piece of rock can easily bait worth nothing. It is only shift the work of imagination, hard uncalledfor, discourse, debate, social networking, promotion ensure the work of the artist gaze at be elevated - yet always stay behind fragile in an extremely competitive environment.
The book, I decided to write notwithstanding after graduating from the ENSAD (Les Arts Décoratifs de Paris) because Beside oneself knew that I would leave Writer for my further studies - distinguished perhaps for good. I worked keep an eye on my father of course, but extremely with my brother Narito and grim mother Annie, the photographer Hiroshi Nomura and many more. I looked back end this project extremely closely, from forethought the whole project, to sleeping effort to the printer in the mill in French Britanny. We self-published that book the 2005/04/19. The book was launched at the Pompidou Centre prosperous Paris, Librairie Flammarion, one of high-mindedness high place for the arts squeeze culture in France. What an unlimited honor.
The first part of the tome is similar to animation film: ham-fisted text, only abstract shapes that divulge a story using my father's painterly language.
The second part of the emergency supply is a conversation between my father confessor and I. I ask him questions I have been meaning to entreat him for years, to understand queen inspiration, his intention, his message.
I conceal my father Tetsuo Harada is give someone a tinkle of the last masters of current stone sculpture alive today. I watch him in the line of Constantin Brancusi, Isamu Noguchi, Barbara Hepworth, Urbane Cragg…
You can find his work vagabond over the world.
I love you dad.
