Joshi Hoshi Prints and Multiples
Japanese, 1913-1979
Joichi Hoshi was a Japanese printmaker best known for his depictions of trees in centered compositions. The trees are often shown leafless with monochromatic backgrounds, sometimes incorporating gold or silver leaf into the layers of the intricate woodblock process. Born in 1913 in Niigata, Japan, Hoshi began his artistic career after working as an elementary school teacher in Taiwan for several years. He later became a mimeograph printer and started creating his own prints. The artist graduated from the Musashino University of Fine Arts in 1956. Before focusing on his recurring motif of trees in the 1970s, Hoshi depicted galaxies and constellations. He died on June 17, 1979 in Tokyo, Japan. Today, Hoshi’s works are held in the collections of the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Cincinnati Art Museum, among others.to

High Treetop (A)
By Joichi Hoshi
Located in Burbank, CA
Towering tree with an extremely personal perspective, cloaked in blue with a gold background. Hoshi devised a unique method for printing that involved gold and silver leaf, oil paints, and applying a torch to his woodblocks. The branches and the trunk have been printed with a three-dimensional effect. Hoshi’s prints apparently sold out as soon as he completed them. He gives trees their spiritual due. Numbered 86 from a limited edition of 99. Hoshi used oil paints, so his works do not suffer fading the way most woodblock prints created with water-based paints do. Signed and titled at bottom in pencil. Self-printed by the artist. See “Joichi Hoshi: Catalog of All Tree Woodblock...
