Book Description

In 1942,Executive Order 9066 mandated the incarceration of 110,000 Japanese Americans, including men, women, children, the elderly, and the infirm, for the duration of the war. Allowed only what they could carry, they were given just a few days to settle their affairs and report to assembly centers. Businesses were lost, personal property was stolen or vandalized, and lives were shattered. The Japanese word gaman means "enduring what seems unbearable with dignity and grace. "Imprisoned in remote camps surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by soldiers with machine guns, the internees sought courage and solace in art. Using found materials at first and later what they could order by catalog, they whittled and carved, painted and etched, stitched and crocheted. What they created is a celebration of the nobility of the human spirit under adversity. THE ART OF GAMAN presents more than 150 examples of art created by internees, along with a history of the camps.

5 out of 5 stars Crafts behind the wire.......2007-08-30

Delphine Hirasuna is to congratulated on producing a fascinating and moving tribute to the 120,000 Japanese who were interned, firstly in makeshift Assembly Centers for a few months then in Relocation Camps until 1946. It took until 1988 before a Presidential apology was forthcoming for the blatant violation of their civil rights by the federal government.

I think the strength of the book is the background to why the art and craft was produced. Hirasuna explains the rounding up process and public perceptions towards the Japanese only a few months after Pearl Harbor, the locations of the camps (as remote as possible it seems) and daily struggle in a hostile environment.

On page seventeen there is a map of the US and some camp statistics including a reference to Crystal City in Texas which bizarrely held 2264 ethnic Japanese from Latin and South America (1811 from Peru) who, having been forcibly taken to the camp, were then accused of entering the country illegally! After the war the Peruvians were not allowed to return home until Congress sorted out this injustice in 1953.

Look at the paintings, sculpture, craftwork and furniture and be amazed that most of it was created from whatever materials were available, discarded wood, sacking, vegetation, rocks, shells and anything that could be cut, woven or molded. My favorites are twenty-two brooches made from shells, ribbon and wire and they look just stunning. On pages 104-5 you can see a Buddhist shrine, five foot tall, with the most intricate carvings and hard to believe that it was probably made from firewood.

In the back of the book there is some background information about Japanese history museums and a short bibliography which strangely misses out Manzanar: Photography by Ansel Adams, Commentary by John Hersey. A more recent look at the subject is Impounded: Dorothea Lange and the Censored Images of Japanese American Internment a portfolio of photos by Dorothea Lange. Unfortunately the reproduction and design of the book don't do the photos justice.

The Art of Gaman is beautifully printed and designed (by Kit Hinrichs of Pentagram) and a suitable tribute to creativity in hard times.

5 out of 5 stars THe Human Spirit Defined.......2007-04-13

This book will have you in tears with its beauty in the face of diversity so extreme you can't imagine unless you've talked with a survivor of these internment camps. The level of the art is very fine, museum quality. It is hard to believe they had to scrounge the materials from dump piles and surplus. Anyone who doesn't think art can save lives should get this book.

5 out of 5 stars I was moved to tears.......2007-01-11

The heart and spirit of the japanese internees continued to shine within the walls of their confinement. They found beauty and admiration of beautiful things living in desolate and inhumane conditions of the prison camps. This is a understated book with touching stories to tell.

5 out of 5 stars Well done!.......2007-01-10

This book shows artwork done with minimal supplies in the Japanese-American concentration camps of the western US during WWII. The images are high quality, in color, and very thought-provoking.

5 out of 5 stars The Art of Gaman by Hirasuna.......2005-12-21

This work documents the extensive detainment of Japanese
citizens during the later period of WWII. These prisoners
were kept in whitewashed horse stalls in California, Oregon
and the State of Washington. The camps emphasized education
including arts/crafts with a shortage of teachers.

Fine works of art include:
- The Natural Form of a Snake by Obata
- Kobu by Matsuhiro
- A Bonsai Notebook by Iseyama
- Shell Broaches and Corsages by Iwa Miura and Shintaku

The volume is a solid value for the price charged. It is a must
for serious students of WWII and historians everywhere.

Book Description

Yes you can! Give the gift of art. Give the gift of creativity. Give the gift of fun. Because now we can all paint with the best of them. Drawn from the annals of America's fondly remembered pastimes, Real Art! is an all-new, cleverly designed paint by number kit and the coolest gift of the season.

Open the box and discover everything an artist needs to create a gallery of paintings suitable for framing--ten white "canvas" boards, 18 oversized pots of acrylic paint, and two brushes, one narrow and one medium. The images, newly created by artist Nancy Stahl, are iconic: a still life of luscious pears. A clipper ship in full sail. Tropical parrots in a study of exuberant hue. The geisha. The bustling street scene. And two bona fide masterpieces: van Gogh's Sunflowers and, yes, the Mona Lisa. Plus, pulling the full experience together is a 64-page full-color book of history, appreciation, and instruction. Illustrated throughout, it traces the canon of PBN subjects and artists, including the original brouhaha over its place in the culture; and provides a how-to-paint primer--including how to improvise, from choosing a varied color palette to leaving parts of the canvas blank, à la Warhol; plus tips on displaying your work and, ultimately, becoming a PBN collector.

3 out of 5 stars A bit dissapointed.......2007-08-18

I was so excited and still am about the idea of this product. However, at least 3 of the colors were so dried up that I could not even use them...which of course makes it difficult for a paint-by-number!

5 out of 5 stars So much fun!!.......2007-07-04

This kit is fantastic!!! It is really a lot of fun & the paintings cover nearly every taste in paint-by-number artwork you can think of (except for kitties!). The kit itself is really neat. One side contains the canvases, 10 in all. The canvases themselves are a Japanese scene, a French scene with a poodle, two puppies in a basket, a Southwest scene with pottery, a snowy cabin, the Mona Lisa, Sunflowers, a large ship at sea, a still-life of fruit & two parrots. The other side contains the paints, 2 brushes & a neat little book on the history of the art form.

Some things to consider & are usually true with any kit.

1. The paints are REALLY thick! This is good in the sense that you can water them down a lot, but they do require prep work before you can use each paint pot. Water, stirring, more water, etc. Use some toothpicks & stir well!

2. The brushes are WAY too thick! I have some of my own brushes from other kits & you really need a very small one for the tiny pieces.

3. Always fill in the spots with the arrows before the bigger places! Otherwise, how else will you know what to do?

4. The blended colors don't always come out exactly, but that's what makes each piece unique. Try mixing with one drop at a time. I ended up making too much of a few color combos & went through the other canvases to see if I could use that color elsewhere. The colors also didn't match to the pictures in the book, sometimes they were way off! The pictures in the book were too small also, but they gave you a general idea.

5. Several colors, especially the dark ones, needed a couple of coats. You will tell this when you put on the first coat.

I started with the Japanese scene & will be moving to the other pieces soon!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful! .......2007-01-12

5 out of 5 stars Paint the masters easily.......2006-02-25

Paint the Mona Lisa! This is a great paint by number set, but not your typical paint by number. Have your kids painting great works of Art.

5 out of 5 stars The best paint system I've ever used.......2005-09-03

Just bought a copy of Douglas Brenner's Real Art ! In a word, stupdendous. I labored over the Mona Lisa for several weeks. This is almost as good as the original. Authentic colors, vivid hues, all at a reasonable cost. If you're looking to buy a gift early for the kids for Christmas, this is the perfect choice for "hues". Enjoy and don't listen to those other reviews. They're way off the mark - Jeanne

Now, you can make your next entrance more eye-catching: try a band around your upper arm, or a fluttering pattern along your waist. This kit will commence your initiation into the mysteries of the ancient practice of henna adornment, a safe, non-permanent, beautiful art form. Each kit contains two packets of henna powder with application cones to allow you to create intricate designs, Mehlabiya oil capsules and six transfer sheets of ancient and contemporary patterns to guide you.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Very well put together.......2006-02-17

I have played with Henna before, and was looking for a good kit with a better explanation, history, and some insight as to how to shop for Henna products.

The kit comes with 2 cones of powder, 2 liquid mixtures and 1 bottle of oil(and some other stuff, including some cool designs that are discussed in detail in the book). After mixing the first batch, I realized it was too thick. No problem, just add fresh lemon juice until you have a smooth mixture that flows easily through the cone. The quality is great for beginners to play with and I found the cone to be well designed and easy to use.

The real plus for this product is the book that comes with it. Aileen is obviously very talented and someone for anyone who enjoys this art to aspire to. Her book is exquisite in all aspects, from the art history to the application explanations, from her designs to the photography, and from the quality of printing to her expert selection of models(their skin was flawless). I found exactly the info I was looking for.

Well worth the money I paid and an excellent addition to my growing library of Henna/Mehndi/Indigo Art. Thank you.

5 out of 5 stars Buying for the second time.......2004-06-07

I liked this kit so much last summer that I'm purchased another for this summer. The amount of henna in the kit looks small, but as they say...a little goes a long way. I used it weekly on my ankle for about 6 months. I still have some left and plan to use that for at least another month. I always get compliments on my henna tattoos.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2003-02-14

I was disappointed with the amount of henna & few transfers. I also wish the kit had a bottle with an applicator tip instead of it being it that little baggie thing. But the book is very pretty, as someone else said.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2002-09-07

A big group of friends and I tried out this kit together and we had wonderful results. The henna went a very long way, much more so than I had expected. We had to mix a little water into the cones because they were a little too thick, but the rest of it worked great. You will want to reenforce the sides of the cones with tape before you start, because no matter what the seams (they are shaped zip lock bags) eventually give with the force of pushing the henna though the cone. We all had wonderful, dark orange results two and a half hours later. Leave the henna on longer than the author suggests, until it is mostly flaking off by itself (say 2 and a half to 3 hours).
Good luck!

2 out of 5 stars Not impressive, overall..........2000-06-12

Although the book is very pretty, and contains some really nice designs, the henna kit was extremely disappointing. I followed the directions to a tee, and got very disappointing results as did all but one of my friends at my Henna party. Not recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A Very must have book for any oriental brush painter.......2004-04-24

I have a rather extensive library of Chinese Brush painting books, and would only say a few are "must have", and this book truly falls into that category. The author does try to keep matters simple, and does a great job of making simple outstanding paintings. But besides the nice paintings, he shows several creative ways to use Chinese brush paintings, such as on fans, and lanterns, and on pine screens. Finally, he shows various poems of Chinese Calligraphy which appear to be rather easy to inscribe one's painting. I still have probably not done the book the justice it deserves.

I had done face painting before, but this book really improved my technique. It is very nicely organized and easy to follow, and the kids love the faces! The paints that come with the book are not so good, so I would advise buying additional paints and colors at a craft or hobby store.

This is by far the best face painting set I have found to date. It comes with 4 water based paints and the book has the most amazing faces that are SO easy to do. I have sat outside and painted the nieghborhood kids with this and everyone thinks I am an artist! I would give it 10 stars if I could. Makes a great gift too, for kids 8 and up.

      5 out of 5 stars 5 star, but hoping for a bigger book.......2007-08-11

      I give this five stars because it is extremely helpful in instructing you how to form your own dragon, but I was hoping for a bigger book to go along with the brushes, pencils, and paints. It's worth the purchase if you'll use everything in the kit, but the $19.99 book is the better purchase.

      5 out of 5 stars awsome.......2007-03-19

      comes with everything a beginner needs. I just wish I had more free time to draw...

      5 out of 5 stars Great !.......2007-02-08

      It was simple and complicated enough for my 9 year old. The illustrations are great and the details are easy enough to understand. The paint brush was actually a pretty nice one and not plastic stiff brissles.
