Product Description
From the traditional art of origami and paper cutting, through to contemporary experiments in conceptual paper installations and modular folding, Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut celebrates one of the world's oldest and most widely used materials in all its visual glory, providing an analogue remedy to the digital world. Paper profiles over 50 artists and designers who work with the medium, from the vast sculpted installations of Mia Pearlman and the delicate paper incisions of Noriko Ambe, to the light-hearted illustrations of Robert Ryan and the forward-thinking furniture design of Tokujin Yoshioka. Also included is an informative history of the material and its role as an art form, from the ancient process of manufacture in China to the most recent technological advances. Following the medium as it is pushed to its extremes, Paper is an elegant and insightful look at the sumptuous world of paper today.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this because of a new interest in paper cutting and design. It doesn't contain any step by step or 'how to' sections at all but it is a beautiful reference book of what can be achieved with some flair and imagination. Good background on the featured artists and the photographs of their work are excellent. I bought it thinking it would have an inside guide on technique - and although it doesn't particularly it truly is a very inspiring book and I was stunned by the creativity and possibilities it revealed to me. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in paper art but also to anyone who simply loves looking at inspiring art and/or looking for inspiration, and to anyone interested in design created by talented individuals. It would make a great gift for those interested in paper art, contemporary art and graphic design. Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut

Since I bought this book, I've hardly had chance to look at it, as it has been snatched away by everyone who comes into contact with it. I've just ordered a further two copies for my Art Department. It is absolutely inspirational and I would definitely recommend it for Art Departments in schools and colleges. Beautifully produced and designed.

An excellent coffee table book, but also an invaluable reference book for students studying modern artists.
The images are good and sufficient information to start research from. I liked it.
