Description: Legendary American tattoo artist Ed Hardy's groundbreaking tattoos flash drawings and artworks are gathered together for the first time in one brash book. Ed Hardy's (b. 1945) unique vision spans decades creating an indelible mark on popular culture. Accompanying a major exhibition this profusely illustrated survey of his life in art traces his inspirations rooted both in traditional American tattooing of the first half of the twentieth century and in the imagery of Japan's ukiyo - e era. Hardy raised in Southern California became intrigued with tattoo art at the age of ten setting up shop in his parents den. After attending the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1960s he rejected a graduate fellowship from Yale to apprentice at studios up and down the West Coast. It was his intention to rescue tattooing from its subculture "outsider" status and elevate it to at least the level of folk art. Hardy's success at breathing new life into the art form is chronicled in a plethora of tattoo designs paintings drawings prints and three - dimensional work spanning fifty years. While the world that inspires him may be lost Hardy's distinct visual language is vibrantly alive within American visual vernacular synonymous to some with the spirit of the West Coast itself.
