About the Item

Naoko Matsubara, 'Winter Serenity' for the portfolio 'Solitude', woodcut, 1971, edition 100. Signed and numbered '58/100' in pencil. A fine, richly-inked impression, on cream laid Japan paper, the full sheet with margins—minor surface soiling to the bottom sheet edge, otherwise in very good condition. Archivally sleeved, unmatted. Image size 10 3/4 x 13 1/4 inches; sheet size 15 5/8 x 14 1/4 inches. From a suite of 11 prints entitled 'Solitude' designed by the artist to accompany an essay from 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862). Impressions of this work are in the permanent collections of the British Museum (London), the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, the Portland Art Museum, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art. ABOUT THE ARTIST Naoko Matsubara was born in 1937 on the island of Shikoku, Japan, and grew up in Kyoto. Her father was one of Japan's most senior Shinto priests, and her mother came from a very old Shinto family. After graduating from the Kyoto Academy of Fine Arts (now Kyoto Fine Arts University), she went to the United States as a Fulbright scholar, studying for a year at the Carnegie Institute of Art (now Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh, where she received her MFA. Subsequently, she was invited to study at the Royal College of Art in London; she traveled extensively in Europe and Asia before returning to Japan in 1963. In 1965, she returned to the United States as personal assistant to Fritz Eichenberg, a renowned wood-engraving artist and historian of print-making. Matsubara taught at the Pratt Graphic Center in New York and the University of Rhode Island before settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as a freelance artist. In 1972, following her marriage to David Waterhouse, a professor of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto, she moved to Canada. She remains intensely active as an artist of single-sheet woodcuts, portfolios, and illustrated books, as well as a painter and a mural artist, working out of her studio in Oakville, Ontario. She has traveled widely, written prolifically, and lectured in English and Japanese. In 1981, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Matsubara taught at Pratt Institute, the University of Rhode Island, and the University of California. Her work is represented in numerous museum collections: Albertina Museum, Vienna; Fogg Museum, Harvard University; Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Cincinnati Art Museum; Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art; Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art; Brooklyn Museum of Art; Detroit Art Institute; Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, British Columbia; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; Boston Public Library; New York Public Library; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven; Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts. In 2009, a one-person retrospective of her work was held at the Carnegie Institute of Art, Pittsburgh.
