Tatsuo Ikeda (池田 龍雄, Ikeda Tatsuo, August 25, 1928[1] - 30 November 2020[2][3]) was a Japanese avant-garde artist best known for his drawing series, including Anti-Atomic Bomb, Chronicle of Birds and Beasts, and Genealogy of Monsters. With Shigeo Ishii and On Kawara, he formed Seisakusha Kondankai (Producers' discussion group), which sought to create a new realism distancing itself from the legacy of Social Realism. Ikeda had begun with his proletariat Ude (arm) (1953), which looked toward surrealism by the omission of the worker's head.[4]
