Image: 25 1/2 x 19" Sheet: 30 3/16 x 22 3/16" Reference: Not in Walker British Museum Curator's comments Unrecorded in the standard Sultan print catalogue by Barry Walker. The print was produced in Vallauris in the South of France at the print workshop of Hidalgo Arnéra who worked with Picasso on his linocuts in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This impression is an unsigned printer's proof and comes from the archives of the Imprimerie Arnéra which was purchased from the heirs by the vendor Frederick Mulder. Donald Sultan to Stephen Coppel, email 30 January 2014, artist's notes: 'These stacks were references to the Cypress trees, which were a continuum of the industrial, assuming a natural position in the industrial landscape. They were originally called “Urban Flowers,” and reference the art-noveau idea of bending nature to industry, but it worked in reverse.' Note: Possible unique impression. Very rare. Never editioned Provenance: Frederick Mulder, London

  • Matsu (Pine)
    Located in Fairlawn, OH
    Matsu (Pine) Woodcut, 1968 Signed: "'Matsu' Naoko Matsubara" in pencil by the artist (see photo) Annotated in pencil "Ed 25" (see photo) Edition: 25 Condition: 7" long waterstain at bottom edge of sheet starting ca. 6" in from lower left corner. Does not effect image. Light foxing throughout, especially in margins. Matting covers the foxing up. Image size: 22 x 43 1/4 inches Naoko Matsubara (1937 - ) Matsubara Naoko (松原直子) was born in 1937 on Shikoku Island into an old Shinto family, and grew up in Kyoto, where her father was a senior priest. She was educated at the Kyoto Academy of Fine Art (BFA, 1960); and was a Fulbright Scholar at what is now Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh (MFA, 1962). She was also a Special Invited Student at the Royal College of Art in London (1962). After travelling extensively in Europe and Asia, Naoko Matsubara returned to Japan for two years, before being lured back to the United States. There she worked as personal assistant to the late Prof. Fritz Eichenberg, and also taught at the Pratt Institute of Graphic Art in New York, as well as at the University of Rhode Island. Subsequently she lived in Cambridge, Mass. In 1972 Naoko Matsubara moved to Canada, and now lives in Oakville, Ontario. She has continued to be extremely active as an artist: locally, nationally and internationally. Since 1960 she has had some 75 solo exhibitions, in the USA, Canada, Japan, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland and Mexico. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions. Public collections owning work by Naoko Matsubara include: Albertina, Vienna; Art Institute of Chicago; British Museum; Carnegie Institute; Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Cincinnati Art Museum; Detroit Institute of Art; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University; Haifa Museum, Israel; Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art; Royal Ontario Museum; The White House, Washington DC; Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art; Yale University Art Gallery. Naoko Matsubara has published some 20 books and portfolios of her work, including most recently Tibetan Sky (Calgary: Bayeux Arts Publishers, 1997; Preface by the Dalai Lama); Tokonoma (Bath, England: Old School Press, 1999); and Konjaku monogatari (Tokyo: ALIS, 2002). Her work also includes a large mural and donor pillar for the new YMCA building in Oakville, Ontario (2003); mixed-media screens; and paintings. In 2005, the Royal Ontario Museum commissioned two large works from Naoko Matsubara for the Museum's Bloor Street window case. The artist generously donated a third work, Emerald Summer (2006). The three works (each 195 cm. high by 95 cm. wide) will be rotated at regular intervals into the outside window. This is the first commissioned artwork to be displayed on the Museum’s Bloor Street Plaza. Recent major exhibitions have been in Tokyo, Kyoto, Indiana, and Toronto (Royal Ontario Museum). Further exhibitions are currently being planned in Seattle and Tokyo; new books in process include In Praise of Hands. She also continues to travel widely; is frequently invited to speak about her work; and also publishes essays, in both English and Japanese. Naoko Matsubara’s work has been the subject of countless articles and reviews; documentary films (including two from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation); and several book-length publications: notably Mokuhan: The Woodcuts of Munakata and Matsubara (text by Joan Stanley-Baker; Victoria, BC: Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, 1976); Naoko Matsubara: Development of Artistic Style and Technique (text by Barbara Woodworth; MFA thesis, Harvard University, 1985);.and Tree Spirit...
