Naoko Matsubara Chinese Dancer Signed Original Woodblock Print #23/250

About the Item

“Chinese Dancer” by Naoko Matsubara (1937-). This deeply-colored red woodblock print is signed in pencil, titled, and numbered 23/250. Framed under glass, the image measures approximately 13.50” x 11”. The frame is 17” x 14”. There is no foxing on the print; color remains sharp. Matsubara is a Japanese-Canadian artist who graduated from the Kyoto University of Applied Arts in 1960. She then pursued an MFA in the School of Fine Arts at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh on a Fulbright Travel Grant, and since then has traveled extensively and taught at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Currently she lives and works in Oakville, Canada. Matsubara’s style is influenced by her teacher Munakata Shiko (1903–1975), who worked in the mingei (folk art) tradition.

  • Kaoru Kawano Signed Large Japanese Woodblock Print Dancing Geisha Figure Eshima
    By Kaoru Kawano
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A beautiful work by famed Japanese artist Kaoru Kawano who was known for his whimsical portrayals of women, children, and animals. Stylistically, he was one of the first Japanese artists to combine Western-style elements with the traditional methods of woodblock printmaking. This work is known as "Dancing Figure (Eshima)" The print is signed (in white ink within the image) and sealed (in red) by Kawano. This work is a quite rare self-printed lifetime double dai Oban large-size print. The quality and colors are striking. It is likely from a limited edition and perhaps numbered on the lower margin (we can not verify as it was previously framed but we are confident that this is the case). A very beautiful and rich image. Would make for a great addition to any Japanese art and print collection or Stand-out accent work in about any setting. Frame dimensions: 30.5" high, 20.5" wide, .5" deep Viewable art...
