Topaz Moon: Chiura Obata's Art of the Internment di Chiura Obata
In 1942, artist and UC-Berkeley professor Chiura Obata and his family were sent to Topaz, a Japanese internment camp in Utah. Although they were not allowed to have cameras, Obata used his talent to do ink brush drawings of what he observed throughout the ordeal. His granddaughter, Kimi Kodani Hill, has compiled these drawings, along with photographs into this great book. The story of the family's year in the camp accompanies the drawings, as exhaustively researched by Hill. A must-read for anyone who loves art or anyone who wants one family's story of their experience.… (altro)
