Naohiko Inukai
Four & Six, No. 1 painting by Naohiko Inukai

1967

About the Item

Strong vertical and horizontal elements woven into a repeating pattern, Naohiko Inukai's painting Four & Six, No. 1 offers a calming rhythmic symmetry. As was noted the the March 1968 review of Inukai's in Arts Magazine, his "vertical bars of intense color, with appropriate modifications at the intersections, jump against the faint pink, yellow, lavender or blue-grey shades of the horizontal stripes. This juxtaposition of strong against pale color emphasizes verticality in canvases that are otherwise wider than they are high." The painting measures 30" x 36" and has a stick frame hand-made by the artist. The work is signed, titled and dated "Naohiko Inukai / Four & Six, No. 1, 1967" verso. It is inscribed verso "To Matt at Hanover Summer 1969". Provenance: Dartmouth College (label verso) Gift from artist to Matt Wysocki, 1969 (inscription verso) Estate of Matthew Wysocki (1920-1991), artist and chairman of Dartmouth College's visual studies department (1966-1989) By descent Born in Okayama, Japan, Naohiko Inukai began his studies in art before coming to the United States in 1961, where he continued his art education at the Art Students League, the National Academy of Fine Arts, and the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture. Inukai had two solo shows at Staempfli Gallery in New York. His work may be found in many public and private collections in the United States and Japan. Inukai taught art at Dartmouth College, Rhode Island School of Design, and Silvermine College of Art. From 1971-1972 he was a visiting critic at Cornell University, and from 1970-1971 he was a visiting artist at Dartmouth College. Inukai returned to Japan in the early 1980s, where he still resides.

  • Ma Jolie oil painting by Robert Gilmore
    Located in Hudson, NY
    From Gilmore's 2010 exhibition "Lost Horizons: The Paintings of Robert Gilmore" – Robert Gilmore says he tries to breathe life into each of his paintings. After that, “they are on their own. They have to tell their own stories.” This major show of oil paintings by Gonzaga’s longtime painting professor will be on display through Dec. 11, 2010. “If you want to know about me, then go to my art show,” said Gilmore, whose works in this exhibition are his most recent. Gilmore’s brush marries the traditional and modern in lush surfaces and rhythmic compositions. Subjects are derived from forms and visual ideas he finds within the landscape. Not the familiar landscapes of the Hudson River School movement, but interior landscapes suggesting a horizon, a sunset, a cave or cavern. Says Gilmore, “I’ve been searching for something. These paintings go to the deepest part of me.” Gilmore has dedicated most of his life to teaching and painting and has produced hundreds of paintings that have been collected across the country. His artistic career began at the Boston University School of Fine Arts where he graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1964. Gilmore earned a scholarship to Yale/Norfolk Summer School in 1963, and studied with faculty there as well. Among Gilmore’s influences are Walter Murch, Reed...
