Naohiko Inukai Four & Six, No. 1 painting by Naohiko Inukai1967
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)

- "The Secrets in the Circle, " Oli Sihvonen, Blue and Red Hard-Edge GeometricLocated in New York, NYOli T. Sihvonen (1921 - 1991) The Secrets in the Circle, 1962 Oil on canvas 25 x 34 in Signed lower right; signed, titled dated, and inscribed "Box 563 Taos, N.M." on the reverse Provenance: Private Collection, Nyack, New York Known for large, hard-edged abstractions, Oli T. Sihvonen, a Brooklyn native of Finnish ancestry, grew up in Connecticut. He attended the Norwich Art School before enrolling at the Art Students League in New York between 1938 and 1941. During World War II, Sihvonen served in the United States Army as a sergeant, specializing, as he later said, in “camouflage and deception.” His tour of duty took him to Europe where he encountered the work of Paul Cézanne. In the summer of 1946, Sihvonen traveled to western North Carolina to study at Black Mountain College, which experienced a boost in enrollment following the war years. He was greatly influenced by the progressive color theories of Josef Albers, and, later, the thinking of Buckminster Fuller. After leaving Black Mountain in 1948, Sihvonen continued his studies under the G.I. Bill at Louis Ribak’s Taos Valley Art School in New Mexico from 1949 to 1950. A year spent painting murals in Mexico included work for the Instituto Politécnico Nacional in Mexico City, an early example of his large-scale proficiency. Returning to the East Coast, Sihvonen held a succession of teaching posts: initially in Washington, DC, and then in New York City, first at Hunter College in 1954 and the following academic year at Cooper Union. Drawn to the southwestern landscape, Sihvonen moved to New Mexico, where he resided in Taos from 1956 through 1967. There, he painted sizeable geometric compositions with exuberant colors, which was atypical of Taos painters...Category
