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.

Risaburo Kimura
Risaburo Kimura was born in 1924 in Yokosuka City, Japan, and moved to New York City in 1964. Kimura attended Yokohama University and Hosei University, in Tokyo in 1954 where he studied Philosophy. His work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions at such venues as the Brooklyn Museum, MoMA, the Guggenheim Museum, and the National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto, Japan). Other venues of premier exhibitions include: the Japanese Art Festival in the Museum of Cherrusky, Paris and in Brazil and Italy; Trends in Contemporary Japanese Art at the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan; Biennial of Prints in Tokyo, Japan; Modern Prints of Japan in Brussels, Belgium; Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City; and the Japanese Arts Festival at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Kimura's work is collected in permanent museum collections including: Oklahoma Art Center; Long Island University; The Museum of Modern Art in New York; The Brooklyn Museum; Kyoto City Hall, Japan; I.B.M. World Trade Corporations Headquarters N.Y.; Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio; National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto Japan; Museo La Tertulia Cali in Colombia, South America; The Bank of America in New York; and The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Post- sōsaku hanga (creative print movement) artist and master of serigraph technique, Risaburo Kimura has special affinity for big cities, being born close to Tokyo and later living in New York. In the late 1960s, he started his most important series of prints, "Great Cities of the World" series, with well over 400 different renderings of a big city. All of the cities he represented in this series are fictional, and are reduced to masterly use of several colors, and minimalization of architectural elements. One of his best known series is a suite titled "Great Cities of the World", in which he combined silkscreen and lithograph techniques to render the impressions of twenty great cities in the world. The series took him almost three years to finish because Risaburo Kimura drew and hand cut screens by himself. He passed away in 2014 in New York.

Rafael Bogarin is an established contemporary Venezuelan artist known for his abstract serigraphs. Bogarin was born in 1946, in El Tigre, where he grew up making his own toys and learning to draw. He studied in Caracas at the Cristobal Rojas School of Fine Arts, specializing in lithography and etching.
From 1970 to 1992, Bogarin, like so many artists, lived in New York. As he explored various techniques, he became an expert in serigraphs, earning himself acclaim in Latin America as a pioneer. In South America he traveled the continent giving classes and learning about native cultures. When he returned to the land of his youth, he was inspired to create the concept of the entire world in the Museo Vial in El Tigre in 1982. Later he made others along the route between Colombia and Venezuela. Recently he has been creating and realizing ideas like the Museo de Murales a Cielo Abierto (Museum of Murals to the Open Sky).
Detailed biographical information (source: artist's website):
Rafael Bogarín was born in El Tigre, Anzoátegui state, Venezuela, on January 20, 1946. He studied at the Cristóbal Rojas School, which he finished in 1966; Among his teachers are Luis Guevara Moreno, Pedro León Zapata, Luisa Palacios and Luis Chacón. Upon returning from school he founded the Zapato Roto group with other artists, with the aim of taking art to the streets. In 1966 he directed the outdoor exhibitions of the Venezuelan American Center, and two years later he participated in the XXVIII Official Salon, where he received the Rome Prize.
During that time he ordered elements such as nuts and serrated blades in relation to discs engraved with burin and other techniques, and made the final impression in planes of one color. In 1970 he received a scholarship and traveled to New York; He studies at the Pratt Graphic Center and the Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. In 1973 he founded, together with Manuel Kohn, the Bogarín Printmaking Workshop, a workplace for Venezuelan artists living in the United States; This workshop, of which he has been master printer, allowed continuity to his artistic work. Bogarín investigates the possibilities of super eight cinema and makes films with quality similar to commercial formats; From these experiences emerge The Lonely World (1975) and New World Symphony (1976). In 1977 he deepened his study of color with The New Color, a portfolio where he produced superimposed colors through transparencies and glazes.
His teaching experience includes courses at the Rafael Monasterios School of Plastic Arts in Maracay (1969-1970), Ceagraf (1979), as well as workshops in various cities around the world. In 1980 he made an exhibition of silkscreen prints in cities in Italy, El Salvador, Colombia, Mexico and the United States. That year he resumed his interest in outdoor exhibitions with a museum project with murals by 30 artists for El Tigre (Venezuela); The Rafael Bogarín Road Museum was inaugurated in 1982 and brought together 30 murals on 2 x 4 meter fences, by artists such as Mario Toral, Édgar Sánchez and Paul Davis. He carried out the project to recover the architectural spaces of El Tigre (Venezuela), through murals, sculptures, plazas and humanized spaces.
In 2006 he painted the largest painted flag in the world in El Tigre, Venezuela. Bogarín has exhibited his work on all 5 continents and currently lives and works in Panama City in his private workshop and in the Articruz workshop.
