This is the comprehensive art collection of Makiko Sugawa. Originally published in Japan in 2012 for Sugawa’s solo exhibition in Tokyo that year, this collection includes approximately 120 illustrations of girls and women, some with prosthetic limbs. For Sugawa, these depictions are not only an artistic statement; they are also an experiment to see if the juxtapositions of the organic and the artificial can ever be seen as something beautiful and fashionable, not merely something artificial. Sugawa’s sensitive drawings of lingerie are also striking and distinguished. This book will appeal to both erotic art lovers and young women learning to draw fashion illustrations.
