Shinsuke Notomi
Light by Shinsuke Notomi book and print with poem and Japanese brushwork

1982

About the Item

This listing includes two works by Shinsuke Notomi: a book and print. The book was produced in a limited edition as part of Shinsuke Notomi’s 1982 exhibit “Light”. In 1979 Notomi traveled to Nepal and Himalayas, did drawings for the "Light" series of lithographs which were published in Paris in 1982 and exhibited at the Cartia Granoff Gallery, Paris, and then in 1984 at the Laforet Museum Akasaka, Tokyo. Reminiscent of Jasper Johns' Target with Plaster Casts, the Shinsuke Notomi lithograph depicts concentric circles and checked rectangles with small points of white throughout. Watercolor-like shading gives this work a fluid spontaneity. Shinsuke Notomi was born in Shanghai in 1942. He came to the United States in 1962, studied at the Art Student League in New York, and then earned a BA and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at the California College of Arts & Crafts in San Francisco. He taught art at Indiana State University from 1972 to 1974, and then traveled to Peru and Bolivia to study Inca art in South America. He returned to Japan in 1975 and has been involved in a wide range of activities since. Notomi is a direct descendant of the Japanese industrialist Yataro Iwasaki and comes from a famed Samurai lineage.

Untitled (Tamarind O )
By Leon Polk Smith
Located in New York, NY
Leon Polk Smith (1906 -1996) holds a unique place in a long tradition of American geometric abstract painting. Born near Chikasha, a Native American territory later annexed by the U.S. as the state of Oklahoma, Smith’s parents, who were of Cherokee ancestry, raised him with both a strong sense of his heritage and an abiding respect for the land. Art would eventually draw Smith to New York where he would quickly embrace elements of geometric abstraction in his work. Many of Smith’s hard-edge compositions could be viewed as distillations of imagery drawn from the Oklahoma landscape...
