About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered by the artist. Created as part of a group portfolio by members of the California Society of Printmakers, based on the works of Shakespeare. Pat was an artist, printmaker and teacher throughout her life. She studied with Akira Kurosaki in Berkeley, Antonio Frasconi in France and Unchi Hiratsuka in Japan. Her prints reflect a lifetime of experimentation in printmaking first nurtured in Japan by contact with the artists of the Sosaku Hanga movement. After seeing Japanese woodblock prints in her college town of Ellensburg, Washington, Patricia Brandes landed a job with the military teaching crafts at a US Army base in Japan. Inspired by seeing Japanese prints, she set herself the goal of studying with Japanese woodblock artists. It wasn't long before she was studying under Un'ichi Hiratsuka, one of the principle artists in a print movement then gaining worldwide recognition known as the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sosaku Hanga was a modernist print movement, which began in the early 20th century and reached international recognition in the 1950s. In the earlier Ukiyoe tradition the printer was only a craftsman, carving and printing the designs of the artist, which meant that the printmaker was never the creator of his own imagery. The freedom to create and print ones own work was a liberating and powerful impulse for an artistic culture so involved in printmaking. Brandes spent five years in the 1950s living, studying and exhibiting in Japan. Her private collection represents more than forty artists associated with the Sosaku Hanga movement and is unique in having been assembled for personal use by an American artist deeply involved in the techniques and aesthetics of the movement.
