"Fugen Bijutsu Ron" (The Indeterminate Form of Art) is a collection of critical essays by Katsuhiro Yamaguchi (1928-) published in 1967 by Gakugeishorin. Set against the backdrop of postwar Japanese avant-garde art and the international experimental spirit of the time, this book explores art from a perspective distinct from advertisements and exhibition catalogs. Originally published as a serial in the Ikenobo magazine Shinfujin, this book is notable for its consistent approach to art's engagement with everyday life. Drawing on works by Bruno Munari, John Cage, and Fluxus, Claes Oldenburg's The Store, and architect Arata Isozaki's set work for the film The Face of Another, this book explores the points at which the boundaries of art become blurred. By examining the unconventional "periphery of art" from multiple perspectives, it sheds light on bodily sensations, visual representations, and materiality unbound by institutions or genres, quietly suggesting the intersection of international avant-garde art and Japanese thought at the time.
