Kaoru Kawano
"Red Mask" Woodblock Print by Kaoru Kawano

1950

About the Item

This whimsical woodblock print depicts a young girl holding a red mask up her face. 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 successfulsolo 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 one of a four lithograph series (see last pictures).
