Yashima Gakutei Figurative Prints
Japanese, 1786-1868
Japanese artist and poet Yashima Gakutei was a pupil of Totoya Hokkei and Hokusai. Gakutei is best known for his ky_ka poetry and surimono works. He was the illegitimate son of the samurai. He worked in Osaka, focusing chiefly on woodblock prints called surimono in addition to book illustrations. Gakutei is noted for the quality in his wood printing works and his general contributions to the body of ukiyo-e artwork. Specifically, critics have noted his technical prowess and precision, his skill in embossing, Some of his work included a set of five woodblock prints featuring young women performing gagaku, a traditional kind of court music from the Heian period. Gakutei also illustrated an entire book called the Ky_ka Suikoden related to the translated Chinese novel Suikoden. Gakutei also created landscapes and seascapes for books which are rare pieces.

Surimono - Original Woodcut Print by Yashima Gakutei - 1820/1846
By Yashima Gakutei
Located in Roma, IT
Surimono is a beautiful color woodcut with white and silver gold embossing, made between 1820 and 1846 by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei.
A young woman is squatting on the floor, holding a musical instrument, the favorite subject of the Japanese master.
With a layer of dust, a small hole in the upper margin to the right and some fading, the original print is still in good condition and retains its incredible charm.
Really the surimonos are a genre of Japanese woodblock prints, privately commissioned for special occasions. Being produced in a small edition for a mostly educated audience, surimono were often more experimental in subject matter and treatment, and extravagant in printing technique, than commercial prints.
Good conditions except a minor fading on top and some brushing of paper.

"Fanti Fishing Boat" Modern Abstract Figurative Woodcut Print 47 of 86
By John Thomas Biggers
Located in Houston, TX
Abstract figurative woodblock print of a beach landscape with a boat. The print is stamped by the artist and titled and editioned in pencil. This print is editioned 47 of 86 and the print is not currently framed.
Artist Biography: Born in Gastonia, North Carolina in 1924, John Biggers studied at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) under Viktor Lowenfeld and muralist Charles White. In 1943, Biggers' mural, Dying Soldier, was included in the exhibition curated by Lowenfeld, Young Negro Art, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
After serving in the United States Navy, Biggers transferred to Pennsylvania State University where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as his doctorate in art education. In 1949, Biggers accepted a faculty position at Texas State University for Negroes (now Texas Southern University) in Houston, where he founded and chaired the art department until his retirement. In the early 50s, he won prizes for his work at annual exhibitions held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Dallas Museum of Art.
In 1957, he traveled to Africa on a UNESCO fellowship to study Western African cultural traditions, becoming one of the first black artists to study the culture first-hand rather than through library research. His work was profoundly influenced by his experiences in Africa.
He was known for his murals, but also for his drawings, paintings, and lithographs, and was honored by a major traveling retrospective exhibition from 1995 to 1997. He created archetypal imagery that spoke positively to the rich and varied ethnic heritage of African Americans, long before the Civil Rights era drew...
