Luigi Carduccio, Josaku Maeda, Galatea Gallery ed, (Turin: 1960).
Born in Toyama prefecture in 1926, Josaku Maeda graduated at the Mushino Art University in 1953 and in 1957 he achieved the first prize at the International Young Artist Exhibition. This event represented for Maeda the first step toward an international artistic panorama: the following year the artist moves to Paris where he developed his studies and career. The European environment strongly influenced his early production, which is mainly influenced by the Informal and Abstract Expressionist art movements. In this period Maeda took part to important exhibitions on the worldwide scale, as the Biennale de Paris (1959) and the New Delhi Triennale in 1968. During the ’70s he spent long periods traveling to India, Tibet and South-East Asia, focusing his research on the mandala iconography and practice; this subject deeply influenced the overall artist's production, which shifted from abstract art to sacred painting, in conjunction with the publication of several books about mandala.
The red paint that characterizes Paysage Humain n° 14 is dramatically spread all over the smooth surface, gradually fading from a darker tone on the edges to more rarefied nuances of orange and yellow in the central area. Such concentric patterns, balanced between symmetry and imperfection, together with the flat background, represent an immediate reference to the Color Field art movement.
Labeled as Informal art, this canvas aims to be a complete rejection of the subject’s real forms, although the title ‘Human Landscape’ might suggest the idea of naturalistic painting. However, the Nature as the main source of inspiration connotes the all Maeda’s abstract artworks produced between 1959 and 1962, all of them presenting titles such as Halo du Soleil, Ombre et éclairé Celestes, Papillon de Nuit, Jardin des Delices.

- Pair of Japanese Screens with Flowers of the Four Seasons, 19th CenturyLocated in Milano, ITThis pair of screens belongs to a genre of lyrical paintings of flowers, grasses, and other plants that flourished around the middle of the 17th century and became a specialty of the Sôtatsu studio. The use of a rather complex composition of clusters of flowers and the puddling of ink was initiated by Tawaraya Sôtatsu, the founder of the Rimpa School, who was active from 1600 until 1642. The screens are abstract and decorative but there is, at the same time, a keen sense of naturalism not only in the attention to accurate detail but in the profusion of vegetation. The passage of the year is symbolized by the variety of plants that bloom in different seasons. The tarashikomi - here used on leaves, petals and trunks - is a Classic Rinpa technique in which pale black ink or a color is brushed onto an area of a painting and then either darker ink, or the same or a contrasting color, is dropped into the first before it has completely dried, creating an effect of pooled colors with softly blurred edges. Its delicacy, preciousness, and effeminacy are identified with the over-refinement of its patrons, while the vigor, monochromatic discipline, sharp observation, and virile forms of the Kano school are a testament to the vitality of the rising warrior class. The plants are almost all identifiable: in the summer-spring part, you can find wheat, buttercups, irises, begonias, hydrangeas, coral bells...Category

The samurai, who lived in a closed and rigid hierarchical society established by the Shogunate, were drawn to the energy and freedom horses symbolize; Kano school artists commonly depicted the equine creatures as they are here, in unfettered and carefree family groups. China originally introduced horse paintings to Japan; the works typically focused on capturing the essence of horses in their various environments and often involved integrating human figures into the images.
