A wonderfully composed and colored, limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino This print, which is titled "Mr. Ozek's Daughter", is pencil signed, sealed in red, dated (1966), and numbered (5/100) by the master printmaker. A beautiful snapshot of a child and her favorite doll, an ever-trusted companion. Notice how the doll holds her hand in a protective gesture. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N. Y., the Art Institute Chicago, the Museum of fine Art, Boston, the British Museum, and the Portland Art Museum among many other fine museums throughout the world. This listing is for print only (no frame). Would be a fantastic addition to any modern Japanese print...

A truly wonderful and extremely rare limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino This print of a pensive young girl dressed in a poncho and hat (likely in Mexico or Central/ South America) is hand pencil signed, sealed/ stamped in red, and numbered (appears to be 12/98 or 19/98) by Sekino. The image features a uniquely sparse composition and rich vibrant colors - very representative of the country this was likely initially conceived in. An exquisite and very rare/hard-to-find work. We have not seen this particular image ever come to the marketplace. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N.

An iconic image by Pop Art master artist Roy Lichtenstein titled "Haystack #6" from his critically acclaimed, somewhat rare, and now hard-to-find Haystack series. Lichtenstein, inspired by his trip to Paris and viewing of Claude Monet's impressionistic paintings of haystacks, the work, and series is a pop art homage to the French painter. The series of seven "Haystack" prints runs from morning (yellow) to midnight (black, with embossing) each reflecting Monet's changing light effects. This work is a limited edition lithograph with screen printing on Rives BFK white wove paper. It was published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles (with their blind stamps to the lower right margin). The work was done in a limited numbered edition of 100. The work is hand-signed in pencil, dated (1969), and numbered (90/100) by Lichtenstein.

An engaging and quite coveted work by famed Japanese artist Kaoru Kawano who was known for his whimsical portrayals of women, children, and animals.
