这本书介绍了奈良的全部作品。除了他最知名的作品，例如他无所不在的宽眼人物肖像，读者还会发现他最早期的画作——创作于他留德期间，有的画在信封上，有的画在纸板上——以及再现他画室的装置艺术作品。他的最新作品也有介绍，包括他的大型青铜和陶瓷小雕像以及2011年日本大地震后创作的肖像。本目录通过奈良独特的音乐镜头对这些作品进行了比较和对比。观众将看到一位随着年龄的增长而变得更加沉思的充满活力的艺术家的发展历程。

Thirty years after Yoshitomo Nara rocketed to fame with his paintings of sinister figures, the artist has developed his practice to reflect his unique, empathic eye. This book presents the full range of Nara's work. Along with his most recognizable pieces, such as his ubiquitous portraits of wide-eyed figures on monochromatic backgrounds, readers will discover his earliest paintings, sketched on surfaces ranging from envelopes to cardboard made during his time in Germany, as well as an installation that re-creates his drawing studio. His most recent works are also represented, including his large-scale bronze and ceramic figurines and portraits made following the 2011 earthquake that devastated Japan. Comparing and contrasting these pieces through Nara s distinctive musical lens, the catalogue also features 'liner notes' written by the artist about various albums in his personal collection, published in English for the first time. Viewers will see the evolution of a dynamic artist who has become more contemplative with age.
