Artist's copy (Epreuve d'Artiste) of a large lithograph of a tree in colours by Yasse Tabuchi, hand signed and dated to the bottom right and dedicated to the bottom left. Yasse Tabuchi was born in 1921 in Kitakyûshû in the south of Japan. He first became acquainted with the techniques of oil painting in primary school. Here, he was also introduced to methods of copper engraving. During World War II, at only 17 years of age, he was called for military service in the Japanese army. In 1948, he returned to the University of Tokyo and completed his studies in Art History with a dissertation about French Colourism from Delacroix to Bonnard.

After 1955 he began to experiment with colours and his palette became darker influenced by the difficulties he was experiencing at the time. In 1958, Tabuchi was invited to take part in an exhibition about Japanese abstract paintings, arranged by the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. At the beginning of the 1960s, he went on a world tour to India and Japan, where he became fascinated by the glimmering golden shades of the Orient, especially prevalent in sacred temples. Tabuchi’s fascination with the colour gold became an important element in his later works and is used as a symbol of universal divinity. The figuration is divided in different sections, inspired by Japanese painted screens...
