Through The Ages by Toko Shinoda, black and white signed lithograph calligraphy 11/35
obituary published by CNN March 2021
Celebrated artist Toko Shinoda, who combined Abstract Expressionism with the traditions of Japanese calligraphy, has died at the age of 107. She passed away from natural causes at a Tokyo hospital earlier in March, her niece Soko confirmed.
Born in 1913 in the Manchurian city of Dalian, now part of northeast China, Shinoda moved to Japan at a young age. There she showed an early aptitude for calligraphy, which she first learned from her father, holding her first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 1936.
After World War II, however, she began experimenting with techniques outside the confines of traditional calligraphy. Using her preferred medium, sumi ink, Shinoda's work became increasingly abstract, giving new and unexpected forms to Japan's kanji script.
But it was her 1956 move to the United States, where she settled for the next two years, that served as a stylistic turning point. Immersing herself in New York's art scene, Shinoda interacted with some of Abstract Expressionism's leading figures, including Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, and was seemingly influenced by the immediacy of their work.
In this same period, her creations began appearing at exhibitions in American and European cities, including Boston, Chicago, Paris and Rome. And though she returned to Japan in the late 1950s, Shinoda's work would continue to be shown in the West and was later collected by major museums including the Guggenheim and MoMA in New York and The British Museum in London.
While she brought much of America's abstract tradition home with her, Shinoda retained an elegance from her calligraphic roots. She also, often, eschewed the use of dramatic colors -- so liberally employed by contemporaries like Pollock -- instead creating dynamism and depth using different concentrations of ink and brushstrokes of varying intensity.
In the 1960s, she began working with lithographs. Her career spanned over eight decades.

Toko Shinoda
Toko Shinoda is a Japanese artist known for sumi ink paintings and prints that blend traditional calligraphy with modern abstraction.
Born in China in 2013 during Japanese occupation, she moved to Japan with her family at age 2.
Shinoda had an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1953. She subsequently moved to New York three years later, residing there until 1958. There, she came into contact with the works of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and other key figures of the abstract expressionism movement.
During her life she was represented by Betty Parsons Gallery in New York and Annely Juda Gallery in London, among others.
A 1983 interview in Time magazine asserted "her trail-blazing accomplishments are analogous to Picasso's". Her style was described as "an art of elegant simplicity and high drama" by the The Plain Dealer in 1997. Her art was also characterized by The Independent in 2011 as "elegant, minimal and very, very composed", adding that "her roots as a calligrapher are clear, as are her connections with American art of the 1950s, but she is quite obviously a major artist in her own right".
Shinoda was honored on a postage stamp issued by Japan Post Holdings in 2016. She was the only Japanese artist to have been celebrated in this manner while still alive.
Shinoda's works have been collected by public galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Brooklyn Museum and Metropolitan Museum (New York), the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, the British Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the Singapore Art Museum, the National Museum of Singapore.

Publisher's Blurb:
In Air: 24 Hours, Jennifer Bartlett creates her most personal paintings, all made between 1991 and 1992. Here, in each work, the unflinching presence of time is carefully, conspicuously monitored by a clock - light gray for day, dark gray for night. But motifs, color combinations, even certain images variously recur throughout the 24 paintings, shaking us up, causing us to realize that even the most seemingly casual, intimate scenes (a child's bedroom, a bathroom, the garden fish...

Book information:
Publisher: Harry N Abrams (November 1, 1985)
English; Hardcover; 108 pages with color illustrations
Editorial Review:
Rhapsody'' is Bartlett's multi-part, multi-theme epic, a statement of the coming of age of an artist. A portable mural extended over 987 one-foot steel plates requiring 153 running feet of wall space, it is an enormous and infrequently mastered challenge to install and exhibit. In 1985-86, however, it will be on view in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Brooklyn, La Jolla, and Pittsburgh, and well worth a trip. In book form it becomes more available, with Smith's guided tour through sections, with Bartlett's notes giving conceptual coherence, and the opportunity to move from close-up to long view by turning a page. Rhapsody'' and this book afford a glimpse of a mind and art in action, a discovering and ordering process, an exciting demonstration of ways of growing and expressing the self and the world. Highly recommended.
About Jennifer Bartlett:
By the mid-1970s, Jennifer Bartlett (1941-2022, b. Long Beach, California) had emerged as a leading American artist of her time—particularly following the landmark presentation at Paula Cooper Gallery of Rhapsody (1976), Bartlett’s magnum opus, now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Bartlett’s first survey exhibition was held in 1985 at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and traveled to the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and the Carnegie Museum of Art, Philadelphia, among others. In 2006, the Addison Gallery of American Art surveyed Bartlett’s early enameled steel plate paintings in the period from 1968–76. In 2013-14, Klaus Ottmann curated her second traveling survey, which visited the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Parrish Art Museum, New York. In 2014, the Cleveland Museum of Art united her three monumental plate...
