Joichi Hoshi
Red Monochromatic Abstract Woodblock Monoprint of a Web of Trees Landscape

1974

About the Item

Red toned abstract woodcut monoprint by Japanese printmaker Joishi Hoshi. This work is a fantastic example of Hoshi's iconic interlocking web of bare trees. Signed and dated by artist in the front lower right corner. Framed and matted in a gold wooden frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 8 in. x W 13 in. Artist Biography: Joichi Hoshi was a Japanese printmaker best known for his depictions of trees in centered compositions. The trees are often shown leafless with monochromatic backgrounds, sometimes incorporating gold or silver leaf into the layers of the intricate woodblock process. Born in 1913 in Niigata, Japan, Hoshi began his artistic career after working as an elementary school teacher in Taiwan for several years. He later became a mimeograph printer and started creating his own prints. The artist graduated from the Musashino University of Fine Arts in 1956. Before focusing on his recurring motif of trees in the 1970s, Hoshi depicted galaxies and constellations. He died on June 17, 1979 in Tokyo, Japan. Today, Hoshi’s works are held in the collections of the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Cincinnati Art Museum, among others.

Artist Biography: Eugene Larkin was born into a farming family of seven children in rural Minnesota in 1921.

Larkin attended the University of Minnesota, graduating with an M.A. in 1947. As a student of the art historian Lawrence Schmeckebier, an authority on the art of the Mexican muralists, he was soon introduced to the expressionism and political engagement of German and Mexican artists of the 1920s and 30s.
