The trailblazing efforts of Japanese artist Akira Yoshizawa elevated the paper folding to an art form by showing how subtle shapes and figures could be created from a single sheet of paper through a variety of non-traditional folding techniques. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtists in other parts of  the world—including the United States, France, England, China and Scandinavia—took Yoshizawa's cue and pushed these techniques further and further. The result has been the emergence of many new and surprising sculptural forms created through methods such as wet folding, curved creasing, tessellating and the application of alternative materials besides paper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe stunning photography and interesting information on artists, exhibitions and inspirations, makes this the perfect coffee table book or gift for any art lover.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Meher McArthur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268655395067,"sku":"9780804846776","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/unnamed_aa978f7f-314a-4f71-ac53-b80a6d76da0d.jpg?v=1779303387","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/new-expressions-in-origami-art-9780804846776","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
