About the Item

Burst of Sound Lithograph printed in colors Signed and titled in pencil in Japanese (see photos) Edition: 30 (5/30) Provenance: Ralph Drake, Cleveland, OH, noted collector of decorative arts and Japanese prints Most probably acquired in Japan at the College Women's Association of Japan (CWAJ) annual exhibition where is visited every year. CWAJ Print Show is a highly respected annual exhibition and sale of contemporary Japanese prints. The first Print Show was held in 1956 and showcased a new form of woodblock print, “sōsaku hanga,” characterized by individuality and freedom of expression. This first show helped establish CWAJ as an important presence in the Japanese art community and created a firm foundation for raising funds for CWAJ scholarships through participation of well-known artists. Print Show today remains notable for its globalism, attracting artists, jurors, and visitors from around the world and managed by CWAJ membership’s own devoted pool of international members. A work by this highly regarded female artist is in the collection of the British Museum. "A world filled with light, expressed in shades of light blue. Using familiar nature as her motif, Misako Shimizu layers brushwork to create tranquil yet powerful images, depicted in delicately minute detail. Pristine works of art honed to this degree release our consciousness. Gallery Taga2 presents the exhibition of the lithograph artist, Misako Shimizu. Shimizu has been producing work on nature as her main theme; however, through discussions with her students at the art university where she works as a professor, she began to interpret the nature as something that exists within — an inner cosmos, rather than an existence out of a human being. More recently, Shimizu developed increasing interested in water and its aspect of being a component that purifies and empowers a human heart, and she has been incorporating both characters into her work along with the theme of “inner cosmos”."
