Review The History of Japanese Photography (Museum of Fine Arts) / Yale University Press:Except for the rare international superstar like Araki Nobuyoshi, known for his gamey shots of nude young women, Japanese photography is a closed book to Westerners. Yet it has a distinguished and vital tradition that has enriched every genre from portraits to landscapes with a unique blend of lyricism and candour. In The History of Japanese Photography, a wealth of captivating images and essays by seven scholars trace 140 years of stylistic and cultural evolution. In 1857 a local ruler had his portrait taken with a daguerreotype set brought to Nagasaki by a foreign ship. Eleven years later, official photographs of the emperor-never glimpsed in person by his subjects-became widely available. Photographers were increasingly called upon to document new Japanese territories, natural disasters and wars. Visitors hankered after studio shots of geishas and other exotica. Beginning in the 1890s, upper-class amateur photographers introduced a new emphasis on aesthetics. In the 1930s exquisite pictorialist images of natural beauty gave way to modernist influences from Berlin and Moscow, and then-in wartime-to a conservative emphasis on traditional rural life. Individual expression dominated postwar photography, as seen in such images as Tomatsu Shomei's haunting "Beer bottle after the atomic bomb explosion". [+]Recent work reflects the dislocations of urban consumer society. The book is beautifully produced, with 356 colour illustrations. -Cathy Curtis, Amazon. com.

Review John Soane: An Accidental Romantic / Yale University Press:Sir John Soane (1753-1837) is one of the most influential, if eccentric, of English architects. Most of his designs were so radical they never came into being- just as well, some critics say. But Gillian Darley, in this ambitiously produced but disappointingly illustrated (most of the reproductions are in black and white) biography, champions this son of a bricklayer. Soane was a self-made man, with all the faults associated with that-egotistic, quarrelsome and with sufficient dilletantish genius to discredit him in the eyes of his peers. But by 1800 he was rich and successful; the personal architect of two prime ministers. He designed the Bank of England, the Dulwich Picture Gallery and Westminster's Law Courts, as well as Britain's beloved red telephone box. His unprecedented use of neoclassical elements and eclectic styles gave Londoners a chance to marvel at theatrical effects and spatial trickery. His greatest achievement, though, remains his home in Lincoln's Inn Fields that he bequeathed to the nation on his death. The Soane Museum is as complex and intriguing as the man himself and if it hadn't been for Darley's diligent research and sensitivity, we wouldn't have known quite how troubled the man was behind this glorious facade. -Lilian Pizzichini.
