Kiyoshi Saito Signed Japanese Woodblock Print Buddha

About the Item

A beautifully and serenely composed woodblock print by famed Japanese printmaker Kiyoshi Saito. Many consider Saito to be one of the most important, if not the most important, contemporary Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. This print is simply titled "Buddha" and is likely from a series he did on various Buddha sculptures/statues throughout Japan. The print is signed in pencil by Saito and stamped/sealed in red within the image. A relatively rare and hard-to-find image. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian print/art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting. Saito's work has been exhibited extensively and can be found in galleries and museums throughout the world including: Achenbach Foundation, Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco Art Institute of Chicago Cincinnati Art Museum Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art Kanagawa Prefectural Museum Los Angeles County Museum of Art Miami Art Museum Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Museum of Modern Art, New York City National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo New York Public Library Philadelphia Museum of Art.
