Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2010.

This dissertation examines the art and thought of a Japanese avant-garde painter, Koga Harue (1985-1933), within the context of the reception of Western avant-garde art movements in 1920s and 1930s Japan, especially Cubism, German Expressionism and Surrealism. Rather than viewing the Japanese avant-garde as an "incomplete" practice or primarily an imitation of European avant-garde movements, as previous scholarship has often argued, my approach is to recover the initial historical moments when these three avant-garde movements were first introduced into Japan by examining the contending interpretations of and responses to these movements offered by Japanese artists and critics at the time and to situate their arguments within the context of the broader development of western-style paintings in modern Japan.

520 $a My research demonstrates that these kinds of visual encounters did not consist of one-time acts of passive reception but comprised a continual and active process of translation, transformation, and adaptation to suit local social, political, and cultural contexts. Indeed, Koga's art theories did not directly engage with the original Western art movements but rather, primarily developed in response to the ideas and theories of contemporary Japanese critics about the purpose and function of art. His paintings embodied this process of transformation and translation and syncretically amalgamated multiple styles and motifs in order to best suit the contemporary artistic exigencies of the Japanese context, to more directly express his personal fantasies or inner worlds, or to more succinctly convey his expectations and misgivings about Japan's rapidly changing modern society.
