Okiie Hashimoto 'Waterfall'Woodblock c1969 Japan

About the Item

Stunning abstract woodblock by well listed artist Okiie Hashimoto, c1969. Professionally framed in a metal frame with a matte brass finish. Okiie Hashimoto was a Japanese artist and educator. Best known as part of the postwar revival of the sōsaku-hanga (Creative Prints) movement, he began his career as a school art teacher. In 1936, he began creating woodblock prints after he attended a workshop organized by prominent sōsaku-hanga artist Un’ichi Hiratsuka and began creating woodblock prints, which he successfully entered at major salon-style exhibitions in 1937. In 1939, he joined the newly formed First Thursday Society (Ishimoku-kai, 一木会), which gathered around Kōshirō Onchi, who would become a leading figure in the postwar Creative Prints movement. In his prolific career in printmaking, he was known for an innovative use of simplified and decorative forms that exude a modern feel. He was interested in expressing the effects of light as much as carefully controlled geometry in composition and forms. In addition to holding several solo exhibitions, Hashimoto exhibited in group exhibitions nationally and internationally, with his exhibition history including his participation in the International Biennial Exhibition of Prints in Tokyo (1957, 1970, 1972) and the Mostra Internationale di Bianco e Nero Lugano (1972).
