The illustrator Mizumaru Anzai, who passed away suddenly in 2014. While organizing works left in his studio, newly discovered were silkscreen prints created solely for solo exhibitions. The period of creation was from 1987 to 1991. Considering that Anzai established his office in Aoyama in 1981 and began his career in earnest as an illustrator, these works can be positioned as early pieces. The compositions are tense, the lines are thin and scratchy, and the colors are transparent. We have no way of knowing how he differentiated between illustrations for commercial work and those for solo exhibitions, but these series of works give a serene and refined impression. This book is a collection of these 30 silkscreen prints. Some were kept by the gallery "Space Yui," with which Anzai had a close relationship. About 90% of the included works are being published in a book for the first time. The works included in this collection are categorized into four solo exhibitions: the "SILK SCREEN" exhibition and the "Two Colors" exhibition held in 1987, the "VIEW" exhibition held in 1988, and the "ALWAYS" exhibition held in 1991. It is said that for these exhibitions, original paintings were not displayed; instead, silkscreen prints were produced, framed, and presented. In this book, high-saturation ink is used for printing to approach the transparent color development unique to silkscreen. The cover is a vibrant blue cloth that does not lose to the colors of the works. Anzai's signature is foil-stamped on the spine. This was extracted from the signature written on the silkscreen prints. This collection was born from the desire to simply and quietly engage with Anzai's art. The included text consists only of work titles and profiles. The design was handled by Akinobu Maeda, who is active as the art director for the magazine "POPEYE," resulting in a product that is also a captivating item. A4 size, modified (W300 x H220) Hardcover, cloth binding 64 pages, all color 30 works included (including cover) Design by Akinobu Maeda Mizumaru Anzai Born in Tokyo in 1942. Illustrator and author. Graduated from Nihon University College of Art, Department of Fine Arts, Sculpture. After working at Dentsu, a design studio in New York, and Heibonsha, he became a freelance illustrator. His works include "Picky and Pokey" (published by Fukuinkan Shoten).
