GUTAI - Japanese Performance Art, 1956-1970

GUTAI - Japanese Performance Art, 1956-1970 at UbuWeb Film & Video. "...'Gutai art does not alter matter; it gives matter life... In Gutai art, the human spirit and matter, opposed as they are, shake hands... My respect goes out to the works of Pollock and Mathieu. Their works are the cries uttered by matter: by oil paint and enamel themselves.' (Yoshihara, Gutai manifesto, 1956)."
