Okiie Hashimoto Color woodblock, 1952. "Girl with Irises"
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Okiie Hashimoto Color woodblock, 1952. "Girl with Irises"
A beautiful composition by Japanese print artist Okiie Hashimoto (1899-1993).
This original color woodblock is in excellent condition and measures 15"h x 21 1/4"w.
The work is framed nicely and measures 25 3/4"h x 30 3/4"w framed.
Pencil signed and dated ‘52 lower right. Titled “Girl with Irises” (Awame To Shojo).
Okiie Hashimoto (1899–1993) was a Japanese artist and educator. Best known as part of the postwar revival of the sosaku-hanga (Creative Prints) movement. In 1936, he began creating woodblock prints after he attended a workshop organized by prominent sosaku-hanga artist Un’ichi Hiratsuka and began creating woodblock prints.
In his prolific career in printmaking, he was known for an innovative use of simplified and decorative forms that exude a modern feel.
In his lifetime, his achievements were rewarded with his appointment to the president of the Japan Print Association (1974–79) and his invitations to the prestigious international prints biennales in Tokyo (1957, 1970, 1972) and Lugano (1972).
In 1921, he began a three-year teacher's training course at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (the present Tokyo University of the Arts), graduating in 1924. In Tokyo, aside from the art teacher education courses, he received training in a wide variety of practices, including yoga (Western-style painting), nihonga (Japanese-style painting), sculpture, design, etching and lithography, crafts, and calligraphy. In 1955, he began to pursue a career as an artist full-time.
As for influences, Hashimoto cited Hiratsuka, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kanji Maeda, and Masao Maeda...
