About the Item

Artist: Yutaka Yoshinaga – Japanese (1948- ) Title: 96-C-1 Year: 1996 Medium: Color spit bite aquatint with drypoint and hard ground etching. Image size: 13¾ x 9½" Paper size: 19¼ x 15¾". Thick handmade washi paper Framed size: 21 ½” x 18 ½” Edition 40. This one: TPB Publisher: Crown Point Press Printer: Paul Mullowney Condition: Excellent Frame: Framed in black wood frame. Floating. Archival mounts. This abstract print has rich saturated colors that are proabably the result of the aquatint process. It is in excellent condition. The frame and Plexiglas are in very good condition. Yutaka Yoshinaga has been described as “one of Japan’s most renowned artists who [focuses] on two-dimensional works on paper.” Born in Nagasaki in 1948, he is currently based in Tokyo. He studied at the Suidobata Institute of Art from 1966 to 1967 and the Funabashi Institute of Fine art from 1967 to 1968, and later taught in the visual art department of the Chiyoda School of Design. He is known for his use of pigment or pastel on washi, a type of traditional handmade Japanese paper. As a 1995 review in The Wise Collection newsletter reports “Yoshinaga produces astonishing effects that please the eye and encourage quiet contemplation.” Yoshinaga creates large colorful grids made up of rectangular sections that vary in pigment concentration. To create the grids, he begins by folding a sheet of washi paper, typically so large as to involve his entire body in the process. He works one square at a time, adding layers of color by rubbing dry pigment into the paper to create different gradients with an “accumulation of touch.” The rubbing process wears down the washi paper until it eventually becomes frayed at the seams and the fibers unravel; the paper has a soft suede-like texture. “The beauty of this medium can be realized best when the characteristics of the Japanese paper are camouflaged,” Yoshinaga wrote in an exhibition catalogue published in 1989. “I just let myself be guided by the paper’s unpredictable behavior.” Yoshinaga’s work is associated with a style called post-mono-ha. Mono-ha means “school of things” and the movement emerged in Tokyo in the mid-1960s, rejecting traditional ideas of representation and the values of Western modern art. The artists of the mono-ha movement used natural as well as industrial materials, including glass, light bulbs, cotton, paper, wood, rope, and water. Yoshinaga emphasizes material in his work by focusing on its physicality rather than its beauty. “These works are handmade,” Yoshinaga explained. “They are about my relationship to material and to time.” In 1996, Yoshinaga worked in the Crown Point Press studio and made etchings in a similar fashion to his works on paper. First, he laid uneven aquatint grounds on copper plates that were then submerged in acid baths overnight; the acid bit the plates in deep variations to hold ample ink. To create more texture, he drew marks using soft ground etching and drypoint. In printing, he placed the plates together on the press bed to form a large grid. The finished prints are bold in form and color, signature to his style. Yutaka Yoshinaga has shown in exhibitions throughout Japan, the United States, Mexico, Sweden, and Korea. His work is in the collections of the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Modern Art in Brazil; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C; the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; and the Loft Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan. He lives in Tokyo, Japan. Source –Crown Point Press - Carleigh Koger

Complementaries
Located in Llanbrynmair, GB
’Complementaries’ By Yutaka Takayanagi. Medium - Relief and lithographic print Edition - 19/20 Signed - Yes Size - 615mm x 780mm Date - 1976 Condition - Good. 9 out of 10. Born in Tokyo in 1941, Takayanagi's artistic journey began when he enrolled at Tokyo University of the Arts in 1960, studying under the renowned oil painter Kaoru Yamaguchi. His talent was quickly recognized when he received an Honorable Mention at the 8th Shell Arts Award Exhibition in the same year. During his time at university, Takayanagi took an intensive course in copper plate printing under Tetsuro Komai, receiving his degree from the graduate school in 1966. Fascinated by the simultaneous color print method, he started creating copperplate prints and soon gained recognition for his unique metallic reliefs, which he produced using collages of English newspapers. Takayanagi's passion for experimentation led him to create metallic emboss reliefs using his own photographs, and in the latter half of the 1980s, he moved on to silkscreen prints. He continued to push the boundaries of his art, constantly exploring new techniques and mediums. In 1978 and the following year, Takayanagi was appointed as an arts researcher for the Ministry of Culture and traveled to the United States, France, and the UK. These experiences enriched his artistic perspective and further cemented his reputation as a highly regarded artist. Takayanagi was part of the influential printmaking group Sosaku Hanga, which emerged in the early 20th century in Japan. This movement emphasized the artist's involvement in every stage of the printmaking process, from designing the image to carving and printing the blocks. Takayanagi's work often incorporates elements of nature and landscape, with an emphasis on texture and pattern. He also experimented with collage, incorporating found materials like newspaper clippings and photographs into his prints. Takayanagi's work has been exhibited extensively in Japan and internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. He has also received numerous awards for his contributions to printmaking, including the Japan Print Association Award and the Purple Ribbon Medal...
