Kaoru Kawano
"Introspection" Woodblock by Kaoru Kawano

1950

About the Item

The woodblock print of a girl in red depicts a moment of introspection with the defined closed eyes of a little girl at the top of the work and the vision of a malicious face at the bottom. Kaoru Kawano was a woodblock print artist who worked during the Showa period (1926-1989). Born in Hokkaido in 1916, Kawano studied at Kawabata Art School during the 1930s. He gained an international reputation through successful solo exhibitions in North America and elsewhere. Stylistically, he was one of the first Japanese artists to combine Western elements with the traditional methods of woodblock printmaking. It is part of a series of four (see the last pictures).
