	Posters for Yokohama Museum of Art "Ludwig Museum Exhibition" This is a 4-pieces set of enlarged, B-size originals. With our artistic heritage of scrolling pictures here, we tend to look at a large picture from a mobile point of view rather than seeing it as a fixed, integrated piece. Of course, this viewpoint comes to us naturally when we look at something in passing in a public place. The original was created as a concept sketch which I submitted for photographing. The art director told me he wanted to use it" as is." The picture is an ink wash, done with a brush and when I tried to re-create it, I realized how difficult it is to replicate something done casually and without self-consciousness. Thus, the original remains almost as it was, with only minor touches added later on. The sketch was enlarged by a factor of 16 and, of course, it was rather unsettling to see it blown-up to such a size. However, this almost reckless enlargement yielded effects I had not foreseen. There were several choices for layout but the art director thought the letters should be presented very large. This suggestion helped tighten up my somewhat fragile, insubstantial picture. The original ink piece was finished with one gray overtone and one varnish coat and one matte varnish.		Masayoshi Nakajo Born in Tokyo in 1933.
