> Bert Winther-Tamaki, Ph.D.
>
> Mr. Winther-Tamaki is a professor of art history and visual studies 
> atUniversityofCalifornia,Irvine. His research interests include the 
> history of modern Japanese art and visual culture, Asian American art, 
> and the history of interactions between Japanese and American art 
> worlds. He holds a Ph.D. from theInstituteofFine Arts,New YorkUniversity.
>
> “My work focuses on the role of the visual arts in the construction of 
> modern national identities, especially in early and 
> mid-twentieth-centuryJapan,” says Winther-Tamaki. “I am particularly 
> intrigued by artists whose positions partly outsideJapancomplicated 
> the artistic identities they developed in various media: Isamu 
> Noguchi, Minoru Yamasaki, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Fujita Tsuguji. My 
> book, Art in the Encounter of Nations: Japanese and American Artists 
> in the Early Postwar Years, examines the contribution of discourses 
> about abstract ceramic sculpture, avant-garde calligraphy, abstract 
> paintings, and place designs to modern Japanese cultural identity. In 
> two articles on Isamu Noguchi, I consider the different cultural 
> significations of a range of sculptural and design materials (clay, 
> stone, metal, plastic) in his thinking and practice.”
