About the Item

Artist: Risaburo Kimura– Japanese/American (1924-2014 ) Title: City 365 Year: circa 1972 Medium: Serigraph Sight size: 25 x 19.75 inches. Sheet size: 28.75 x 22.75 inches. Signature: Signed lower right Edition: 300 This one: 238/300 Condition: Very good Unframed This color screenprint is by the noted Japanese/American artist Risaburo Kimura (1924-2014). He is noted for is colorful abstract cityscapes. This one is in very good, never framed condition. Painter and printmaker Risaburo Kimura was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 1924. Before pursuing art, he attended the Kanagawa Instructor's School (now the Yokohama National University) and, in 1959, he studied philosophy at Hosei University. While at Hosei he took extracurricular art courses from Tetsuzo Tanikawa, and he decided to become an art critic. This was short lived, however, when he realized he wanted to become a painter. He joined the Sozo Biiku Movement (Society for Creative Art Education), centered around creative artistic freedom and led by artists such as Teijiro Kubo and Ay-o. In 1964 he traveled to the United States to open an atelier in New York, where he began focusing on printmaking, especially silkscreen. He became known for his themes of cities and city life, creating the series "Great Cities of the World" in the late 1960s, featuring abstracted, colorful depictions of fictional major metropolitan areas executed in both silkscreen and lithography. With over 400 images, the series took three years to complete. Kimura died in New York in 2014.
