Lars Bo (29 May 1924 in Kolding – 21 October 1999 in Paris) was a Danish artist and writer, renowned for his graphic works featuring surrealistically inspired fantastic motifs. He was affectionately known as the "Wizard." Lars Bo collaborated with P. Rostrup Bøyesen at Statens Museum for Kunst from 1939 to 1940. Subsequently, he attended The Danish Design School from 1941 to 1943, followed by extensive travels in Europe. From 1947 until his passing in 1999, he resided in Paris. Between 1948 and 1950, Lars Bo worked at Johnny Friedläender and Albert Flocons' graphic studio in Paris. Notably, he authored the novel "Det vidunderlige hus i Paris" (The Wonderful House in Paris). In the early 1950s, Lars Bo relocated to Paris to study art and printmaking techniques at the renowned Atelier 17, directed by Stanley William Hayter. In 1952, Bo embarked on a prolific career as an artist of illustrated books, creating etchings and aquatints until 1996. Some of his notable works in this genre are associated with classic editions of Hans Christian Andersen. Lars Bo initiated solo exhibitions of his prints and paintings in Paris in 1954. Soon after, he emerged as a prominent artist for the French periodical, Le Monde. By 1960, Bo had established an international reputation, particularly for his original prints, leading to exhibitions of his art in England, the United States, and Japan.

’Untitled’ By Yutaka Takayanagi. Medium - Relief with lithographic print Edition - 4/50 Signed - Yes Size - 790mm x 570mm Date - 1977 Condition - Excellent. 10 out of 10. Born in Tokyo in 1941, Takayanagi's artistic journey began when he enrolled at Tokyo University of the Arts in 1960, studying under the renowned oil painter Kaoru Yamaguchi. His talent was quickly recognized when he received an Honorable Mention at the 8th Shell Arts Award Exhibition in the same year. During his time at university, Takayanagi took an intensive course in copper plate printing under Tetsuro Komai, receiving his degree from the graduate school in 1966. Fascinated by the simultaneous color print method, he started creating copperplate prints and soon gained recognition for his unique metallic reliefs, which he produced using collages of English newspapers. Takayanagi's passion for experimentation led him to create metallic emboss reliefs using his own photographs, and in the latter half of the 1980s, he moved on to silkscreen prints. He continued to push the boundaries of his art, constantly exploring new techniques and mediums. In 1978 and the following year, Takayanagi was appointed as an arts researcher for the Ministry of Culture and traveled to the United States, France, and the UK. These experiences enriched his artistic perspective and further cemented his reputation as a highly regarded artist. Takayanagi was part of the influential printmaking group Sosaku Hanga, which emerged in the early 20th century in Japan. This movement emphasized the artist's involvement in every stage of the printmaking process, from designing the image to carving and printing the blocks. Takayanagi's work often incorporates elements of nature and landscape, with an emphasis on texture and pattern. He also experimented with collage, incorporating found materials like newspaper clippings and photographs into his prints. Takayanagi's work has been exhibited extensively in Japan and internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. He has also received numerous awards for his contributions to printmaking, including the Japan Print Association Award and the Purple Ribbon Medal...
