ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Nagano, Japan, Bumpei Usui (1898-1994) moved to London in 1917 and then on to New York City in 1921. In New York, he began his artistic career designing furniture and frames, which provided connections to many leading artists of the time—those connections inspired him to pursue a career in fine art himself. His first exhibition was at the Society of Independent Artists in 1925. In 1926 he exhibited in a group show at the Daniel Gallery in New York with Jules Pascin, Man Ray, John Marin, Thomas Hart Benton, Marsden Hartley, Charles Demuth, Robert Henri, Maurice Brazil Pendergast, Arthur B. Davies, and Yasuo Kuniyoshi. In 1928 Usui exhibited at the Salons of America in an exhibition led by Hamilton Easter Field for artists who wished to break away from the Society of Independent Artists. Later in 1928, Usui exhibited at the Anderson Gallery. He went on to exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Washington Art Gallery in 1931 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1938. Through this exposure, Usui’s works gained recognition and admiration for their color and expressive line.
Usui worked for the WPA mural division and in 1936 exhibited at the New Horizons American Art exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Usui had his first one-man exhibition at the Laurel Gallery in New York in 1946. In 1979, the Salander-O’Reilly Gallery held a retrospective exhibition of Usui’s work, which traveled throughout Japan.
Living in New York City, Usui was a long time summer resident and active participant in the renowned Woodstock Art Colony in upstate New York.
