About the Item

"Night Views" Silkscreen Print by The Skyscape Artist, 25/100. By Tetsuro Sawada ( Japanese, 1933-1998) This raven black geometric abstraction focuses on hard-edged horizontal lines, color, and light, giving the impression of dusk through the "bokashi," or shading, technique, which is most difficult in the silkscreen medium, a good example of Sawada's theme of the infinite beyond, the silent emptiness of the universe. Signature in the bottom right corner reads, "T. Sawada '87," titled in the bottom center, "Night Views," and numbered, "25/100," in the bottom left corner. Presented in a new white mat. Paper size: 34"H x 22"W, Mat size: 39"H x 27"W Born in Hokkaido, Tetsuro Sawada (1933-1998, Japanese) graduated from Musashimo Art University where he majored in Western painting. In 1960, he began painting abstract oils and in 1973, began producing lithographs and then silkscreen prints. In 1966-67, he traveled in North and South America, and in 1969, studied and France and Spain. In 1980, he won a prize at the Norway International Print Biennial. His works were included in exhibitions in Tokyo, Seattle, and San Francisco. Often referred to as "the skyscape artist", Sawada has mastered the technique of "bokashi" (shading). Sawada inked and self-printed all of his own prints and accomplished a striking juxtaposition of matte and shiny colors; a clean, stylistic precision - stark, yet beautiful. His works are in numerous collections, including the British Museum, Cleveland Museum, Cincinnati Art Museum, and the Honolulu Academy of Art.
