Teruko Yokoi
Japanese Abstract Expressionist -- Color Field Painting Gutai
1961

About the Item

Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1924, Yokoi moved to Tokyo in the early 1940s to study oil painting with the impressionist painter Takanori Kinoshita. Yokoi won several awards from the Issuikai and Nitten exhibitions between 1949 and 1951. In 1953 she moved to the United States and studied at the California School of Fine Arts (now San Francisco Art Institute). In New York she studied with Hans Hofmann, and with Julian Levi at the Arts Students League. In New York her style shifted away from objective Impressionism, becoming increasingly abstract. In her prolific career, Yokoi held over 80 solo exhibitions, some notable showings include at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the Seibu Art Forum, and the Galerie Kornfeld in Bern. She went on to claim prizes at the Philadelphia Annual Exhibition in 1957, the Washington Biennale, and the San Francisco annual art exhibition. In November 2004, the Teruko Yokoi Hinagashi Museum was founded in Ena, Gifu, and in 2008, the Yokoi Teruko Fuji Museum of Art was founded in Fuji, Shizuoka. A recent 2020 retrospective on the artist, Tokyo–New York–Paris–Bern, held at the Kunstmuseum Bern, focused on Yokoi’s paintings from the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. Reintroducing the artist to a new audience with an interest in underrepresented voices in the field of painting, the Kunstmuseum Bern wrote: “The story of Teruko Yokoi is one of passion, curiosity, and persistence. It is also an account of the experience of an artist who has worked despite and through the wounds of history, geography, race, and gender.” Untitled, 1961, illustrates the artist's interest in both color field painting and the influence of her American abstract expressionist husband, Sam Francis. The painting's strong expressive colors and daring composition also link the work to the aesthetics of Gutai, a post-war Japanese avant-garde movement. Yokoi’s own brand of abstraction explores the potency of this artistic language to convey raw and charged emotion.

Teller 3

By Frank Arnold

Located in Fresno, CA

"Teller 3" Oil on Canvas presents a singular form and background in varying shades of green, blue, yellow and white and eart tones. Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
