Toko Shinoda Wall Decorations

Japanese, 1913-2021
Toko Shinoda is a Japanese artist known for sumi ink paintings and prints that blend traditional calligraphy with modern abstraction. Born in China in 2013 during Japanese occupation, she moved to Japan with her family at age 2. Shinoda had an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1953. She subsequently moved to New York three years later, residing there until 1958. There, she came into contact with the works of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and other key figures of the abstract expressionism movement. During her life she was represented by Betty Parsons Gallery in New York and Annely Juda Gallery in London, among others. A 1983 interview in Time magazine asserted "her trail-blazing accomplishments are analogous to Picasso's". Her style was described as "an art of elegant simplicity and high drama" by the The Plain Dealer in 1997. Her art was also characterized by The Independent in 2011 as "elegant, minimal and very, very composed", adding that "her roots as a calligrapher are clear, as are her connections with American art of the 1950s, but she is quite obviously a major artist in her own right". Shinoda was honored on a postage stamp issued by Japan Post Holdings in 2016. She was the only Japanese artist to have been celebrated in this manner while still alive. Shinoda's works have been collected by public galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Brooklyn Museum and Metropolitan Museum (New York), the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, the British Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the Singapore Art Museum, the National Museum of Singapore.

Toko Shinoda Signed Large Limited Edition Japanese Lithograph Print Moon, 1965

By Toko Shinoda

Located in Studio City, CA

Exquisite in design and execution. This work, titled "Moon", is by Japanese master printmaker Toko Shinoda (1913-2021) who is universally known for her merging of traditional Japanese calligraphy with modern abstract expressionism and use of Sumi ink. This print is hand-signed in pencil, titled, dated (1965), and numbered (3 /10) by the artist. It is from a very limited and small edition thus scarce and rare. Would be a great addition to any collectors of Shinoda's work or Japanese or Asian art or print collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting. Sure to draw attention. Shinoda's works can be found in numerous private collections and international museums including: Albright–Knox Art Gallery, NY Art Institute of Chicago British Museum, London UK Brooklyn Museum, NY Cincinnati Art Museum, OH Hakodate Museum of Art, Hokkaido Harvard Art Museums Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands Lehigh University Art Galleries Luxembourg Royal Collection Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), New York Museum fuer Ostasiatische Kunst, Berlin Museum of fine Arts, Boston Museum of fine Arts, Gifu Museum Folkwang, Essen Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY Museum of Modern Art, Toyama National Gallery of Victoria National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo National Museum of Singapore Niigata City Art Museum Singapore Art...
