A collection of poems by Yoko Ono in English & Japanese & photos of her Instruction Paintings. Ono had done an exhibition of instructions as paintings at Sogetsu Art Center in Tokyo in 1962. In 1961, she had done a show of instruction paintings at AG Gallery in New York. This fascinating book contains poems & instruction paintings from those exhibits. The poems give instructions to the reader or viewer on how to create a "painting" for oneself that is really a living activity; for example, Painting to See the Sky: "Drill two holes into a canvas. Hang it where you can see the sky." Ono's work makes this a unique & creative book. Photos.
