Hisao Hanafusa Art
Japanese, b. 1937
Born in 1937, Hisao Hanafusa moved from Kyoto to New York in 1963 and was influenced by the practice of creating a resolution of the disparate forms of the painterly and sculptural worlds into a harmonious congruence. Almost exclusively vertical in structure, Hanafusa’s artworks elaborated the possibilities of the horizontal line, using arrangements of tubing and canvas to create patterns that were simultaneously fluid and crisp, visible and hidden. While Hanafusa was certainly in a Minimalist mode during the creation of his artworks, Minimalist facture was impersonal. Yet, Hanafusa’s tubing is not all cut from industrial materials and assembled. Rather, made with exacting precision, these materials start to echo with the artist’s personal touch, providing contrasts of texture and tint. The dualistic nature between Minimalism and intention, monochromatic and lush coloration, gives the implication that Hisao Hanafusa’s art is more a personal statement than adherence to a prevailing movement. Hanafusa can create a vision where contradictions are encouraged and can be elegantly combined, where a viewer can see firsthand the possibility of the impossible. Hanafusa lives and works in New York.

Unsigned.
40" x 26"
Born in Russia in 1907, Ilya Bolotowsky left his native country in his early childhood. The family was forced to emigrate as a result of his parent’s anti-Communist sentiments. They traveled first to Constantinople, then settled in New York City in 1923. Bolotowsky enrolled at the National Academy of Design in 1924. He tried out many styles in this period, ranging from the representational and classical to the abstract and expressionistic. In the early 1930s he became a designer of textiles. In 1932 Bolotowsky spent ten months in Europe. Although he was already familiar with prevailing modernist movements, the opportunity to study a wide range of these works and to meet some of the artists who had made them affected Bolotowsky profoundly. As a result of this trip, Bolotowsky began to synthesize aspects of Cubism with the abstract Surrealism of artists like Miro and Arp. These softer, floating forms gave way to a rectilinear geometry as he became more influenced by the Constructivists and Mondrian. Upon his return to the United States, Bolotowsky married his fellow painter Esphyr Slobodkina...
