Okiie Hashimoto was born on October 4, 1899, in Japan. He pursued a classical study of art and painting for four years, graduating in 1923 from the College of Art in Tokyo. Then, Hashimoto continued his studies under Itaru Tanabe and Shodo Hirata. His artistic style emerged decisively after having met the renowned woodcut artist Unichi Hiratsuka. He had attended Hiratsuka's courses and was later accepted into his circle of artists, the Yoyogi-ha. Through this group, he developed a lifelong friendship with Hiratsuka.
Finding the Right prints for You
Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.
Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.
Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.
Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.
All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
