This print, which appears to be titled “Tori & Shojgo (or Shoigo as written on verso)”, features a colorful, geometric abstract, almost cubist composition with a dancing central figure and two (maybe three) bird-like feathered creatures – quite a departure from his normal more traditional straight forward composition design aesthetic. Apparently, a quite scarce and rare image as we can find no other like it.
The print is double signed – once in ink within the image and also hand pencil signed, numbered (8/100), and dated (1956) by Sekino in the lower margin.
Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan’s paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino’s works can be found in many museums including:
The Museum of Modern Art, N. Y., the Art Institute Chicago, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, the British Museum, and the Portland Art Museum among many other Fine museums throughout the world.
A very Pablo Picasso/ Picassoesque artwork. Would be a fantastic addition to any modern Japanese or Asian modern print or art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work once framed in about any setting.
