About the Item

Signed lower right in graphite, 'Shoichi Hasegawa 長谷川 彰一' (Japanese-French, born 1929), titled lower center, 'le chapiteau et la guitare', with number and limitation, lower left, '18/30'. Sheet dimensions: 22.25 x 30 Inches Born in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Shoichi Hasegawa first studied with Yoshinari Koga (1945-1951). He subsequently moved to Tokyo to study painting at the Koguga Academy. In Tokyo, Hasegawa was particularly influenced by Tasuku Kasukabe, who put him in touch with a watercolorists' association with whom Hasegawa first began exhibiting, and Kawaguchi Kigau, who had participated in the research of the Cubists and Surrealists in Paris during the 1920's. While in Tokyo, Hasegawa participated in the Nitten's first exhibition in 1951. In 1961, Hasegawa moved to Paris with his wife to learn etching techniques under Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17. Here, he became more committed to the principles of surrealism which he increasingly combined with a loose and lyrical sense of abstraction. He was soon exhibiting with success at the major art salons including Salon de la Jeune Peinture (1962), Salon des Réalités Nouvelles (1963, 1964) and, from 1963, at the Salon de la Jeune Graveure Contemporaine. Hasegawa was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards including First Prize at the Exposition Graveure Internationale de Côme. Since 1968, he has continued to exhibit internationally with success. Shoichi Hasegawa's work is held in numerous private and public collections including the permanent collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art and London's Victoria and Albert Museum, among others.

'Mount Fuji', Japanese Abstraction, Isle de St. Louis, Paris, Tokyo, Modernism
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower left, 'S. Omori', for Sakue Omori (Japanese, 1919-2001) and painted circa 1965; additionally signed in Kanji, verso, with artist's name 大森 朔衛 (Omori Sakue) and titled, 'Mount Fuji'. A large and exuberant, mid-century oil by this well-listed Japanese Modernist and Professor of Fine Art who studied in Paris and is particularly known for his lyrical landscape abstractions. Sakusuke (Sakue) Omori was born in Takamatsu City in Kagawa Prefecture. He drew enthusiastically as a child and, by the age of 12, had resolved to become an artist. At the age of 13, he encountered the work of the Japanese Modernist, Takeji Fujishima, which further confirmed his vocation. Omori moved to Tokyo at the age of 18 and, despite his parents objections, entered the Japan Art School where he majored in oil painting. In 1940, at the age of 21, he was granted his first public exhibition. In 1941, he was selected as an exhibitor for the Independent Art Exhibition and, in 1942, for the Art Creators Association Exhibition. In 1943, Omori won the Kagawa Prefectural Governor's Award and also received the Naval Association Award at the Great Japan Maritime Art Exhibition. After the war, with his studio and his work having been destroyed by fire, he returned to Tokyo to build a new atelier in Yochomachi. In 1950, Omori became a founding member of Japan's Modern Art Association and a member of the Action Art Association. In 1960, he was awarded the prestigious K-shi prize at the Contemporary Japanese Art...
