"Involution - Union 4B" Original Large-Scale Abstract Woodcut by Kazumi Amano
Stunning Op-Art checkered color woodblock by Kazumi Amano (Japanese, 1927-2001). Titled "Involution - Union 4B" lower middle; Signed, dated and numbered "Kazumi Amano '76 15/30" lower left. Presented in a metal frame. Image, 29.5"H x 29.5"L.
Kazumi Amano is a Japanese artist born in Takaoka City, Tôyama Prefecture (Japan) in 1927, and was predominantly influenced by the 1930s. He graduated from the Takaoka High School of Industrial Arts in 1945, specializing in furniture design. In 1950, Amano studied briefly under Munakata Shikô. By 1953, he was exhibiting at the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Print Association), and then moved to Tokyo in 1955.
In 1968, Amano relocated to the United States, first working as a teacher at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois and Marycrest College, Davenport, Iowa. In 1971, he moved his family to New York City, where he worked for 30 years.
Amano's early work showed Munakata's influence, but his later prints were very different, characterized by elegant, precision-cut abstractions featuring forms (sometimes embossed) balanced against empty space. His compositions are filled with shapes hinting at industrial or furniture design. Amano spoke in abstractions about his art, and is reported to have said that he was interested in "dynamic opposition and disorder," or the "constant metamorphosis" from "natural evolution."
Amano won prizes at international print biennales in Lugano (1964), Tokyo (1966), and Krakow (1968). His works are represented in the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; the Toyama Modern Art Museum, Japan; the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Cincinnati Art Museum; the New York Public Library; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Miami Museum; the Seattle Art Museum; the Stockholm National Museum; the Elvehjem Museum of Art, Madison, WI; and the Fine Arts Museums, San Francisco.

Alexander Calder Mid Century Derrière le Miroir Lithograph
By Alexander Calder
Located in Soquel, CA
Vintage 1960s Alexander Calder Lithograph double page part of portfolio "Derriere le Miroir". Published by: Galerie Maeght, Paris, 1966. No. 156. Text on verso. Unsigned from an unknown edition. Presented in black mat with red core. Mat size: 20"H x 24"W. Image size: 15"H x 22"W.
American artist Alexander Calder changed the course of modern art by developing an innovative method of sculpting, bending, and twisting wire to create three-dimensional “drawings in space.” Resonating with the Futurists and Constructivists, as well as the language of early nonobjective painting, Calder’s mobiles (a term coined by Marcel Duchamp in 1931 to describe his work) consist of abstract shapes made of industrial materials––often poetic and gracefully formed and at times boldly colored––that hang in an uncanny, perfect balance. His complex assemblage Cirque Calder (1926–31), which allowed for the artist’s manipulation of its various characters presented before an audience, predated Performance Art by some 40 years. Later in his career, Calder devoted himself to making outdoor monumental sculptures...
