Tadanori Yokoo is a Japanese graphic designer illustrator printmaker and painter.
Born in Nishiwaki Hygo Prefecture Japan in 1936 he is one of Japans most successful and internationally recognized graphic designers and artists.
In the late 1960s he became interested in mysticism and psychedelia deepened by travels in India. Because his work was so attuned to 1960s pop culture he has often been unfairly described as the Japanese Andy Warhol or likened to psychedelic poster artist Peter Max but Yokoos complex and multilayered imagery is intensely autobiographical and entirely original.
