In Japan thirteen of his works are registered as National Property, the highest honor an artist can receive. When the National Living Treasures Tour came to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Mr. Aso performed the final calligraphy and sumi painting demonstration. For the past thirty-four years, Mr. Kaji Aso has dedicated himself to raising the quality of life by strengthening the connection between artists and the society they live in. His many awards and honors include Distinguished Bostonian (1980); Honorary Citizen of New Orlean (1983); Certificate of Recognition from Mayor Menino of Boston (1995, 1998); Medal of Honor from Mayor of Padua, Italy (1995), Medal of Honor from the Mayor of Lisbon, Portugal (1997). In 1996 Kaji Aso was named one of the most important international calligraphers of the world by the Beijing Art Academy. The June 2002 issue of Boston Magazine named Mr. Aso one of “40 Bostonians We Love”. Kaji Aso recently received two important awards. Mr. Aso is recognized as one of the 2000 Outstanding People of the 20th Century by the International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England. He is also commended as one of 500 Leaders of Influence by the American Biographical Institute. This award is entered on permanent record at the U.S. Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kaji Aso has been a Professor of Art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and in 1998 received a certificate of appreciation for over thirty years of service from Mr. Malcolm Rogers, Director of the Museum of Fine Arts. A gifted teacher, Mr. Aso has inspired hundreds of students. He consistently gives lectures and demonstrations at various seminars, colleges, universities and art centers. Mr. Aso is Artistic Director of Kaji Aso Studio, Institute for the Arts (founded 1973). Kaji Aso Studio offers an interdisciplinary approach to art and its gallery holds exhibitions, poetry readings and concerts. Besides being a painter, operatic tenor and poet, Mr. Aso is an adventurer. Through the years he has led artists on expeditions to famous rivers of the world. Artists bring back and share their experiences with other people through multi-media exhibitions

By Anne Popperwell
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork titled "Riverwash" 1985 is an original watercolor on Arches watermarked paper by noted American artist Anne Popperwell, born 1948. It is signed at the lower right corner by the artist. The artwork size is 22 x 30 inches, framed is 28.25 x 36.25 inches. It is custom framed in a metal bronze color frame. It is in very good condition.
About the artist.
Anne Popperwell was born in Oakland, California, in 1948 and studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1968-1970 with a major in painting and a minor in photography. She has been painting and exhibiting her work in both private and public galleries, primarily in Canada, since 1981. She paints in watercolour on paper and acrylic on canvas, though not exclusively, using nature-based imagery. Shortly after her arrival in Canada in 1976, Anne moved to an island off the West Coast to paint a particular landscape, the eroded sandstone shoreline. In the course of this eight-year series of paintings, she experimented with point of view, scale and colour, developing a method of working that creates the effect of light coming from within the subject itself. Her paintings are included in private, corporate and public collections in Canada and in private collections in the United States, Mexico and Europe.
