Details

Kiyoshi Awazu
Kiyoshi Awazu was born in Tokyo in 1929 and was largely self-taught as a designer. He established himself in the 1950s and 1960s as one of the most distinctive voices in Japanese graphic design, producing poster work that drew on traditional Japanese imagery and folk art rather than the Swiss-influenced modernism of many contemporaries. His visual language combined photomontage, hand-drawn elements, and bold colour in ways that reflected a more expressive and politically engaged approach. He taught at Musashino Art University and received numerous awards, including a prize at the Warsaw International Poster Biennale. He died in Tokyo in 2009.

FILM Quarterly
FILM Quarterly was a Japanese film journal designed by Kiyoshi Awazu in the late 1960s and 1970s, its expressive covers make it one of the most visually distinctive film publications of the period.

Katia Pecoraro: The dualism between system and freedom, design and life.

"Talking about myself as a designer is something that requires a powerful dialogue with my life experiences. In a radical way, I apply an exercise in which design forms become projections of life, extensions of meaning that constantly involve senses."
