    1st printing. Story and art by Sam Nakahira. This graphic biography by Sam Nakahira, developed in consultation with Asawa's younger daughter, Addie Lanier, chronicles the genesis of Asawa as an artist-from the horror of Pearl Harbor to her transformative education at Black Mountain College to building her life in San Francisco, where she would further develop and refine her groundbreaking sculpture. Asawa never sought fame, preferring to work on her own terms: for her, art and life were one. Using lively illustrations and a dozen photographs of Asawa's artwork, RUTH ASAWA: AN ARTIST TAKES SHAPE is a graphic retelling of her young adult years and demonstrates the transformative power of making art. Hardcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 112 pages, PC. Cover price $19.95.
