SOLD. THANK-YOU!

From Shimonoseki , Yamaguchi, Matsuoka-san graduated from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1944. In 1949, he found success making hanga covers for children’s poetry books. He exhibited with and was a member of Nihon Nanga Kyokai. Besides exhibiting in the U.S. and Italy, he was a teacher in Kita Kyushu. He is held in the Museum of Modern Art Wakayama (see image 10). This piece depicts a landscape in Hirado, Nagasaki. The final picture gives you a sense of the artist travelling in Hirado,  looking for beautiful scenery to paint. The richness of color of this piece is quite impressive. Matsuoka-san’s unique use of the mimeograph was exceptional. Very good condition. 21.5″ x 15″ (paper size), 16.5 x 10.5 (image size). Numbered #18/120 – 1990. Very rare.
