TOSHIMITSU IMAI (Kyoto, 1928 - 2002) Untitled, 1992 Silkscreen on 270 grams Vélin d'Arches paper, copy 69/250. Signed, dated and justified by hand. Measurements: 63 x 90 cm. The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. Published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism, the chosen artists are defined in different movements and pictorial trends. Toshimitsu Imai was trained at the Tokyo State Academy of Art and his early works show a strong influence of the intellectual and decorative treatment of color already employed by the Fauves. Throughout his career he moved towards an increasingly formal synthetism, and was one of the introducers of abstract art in Japan, although he never completely abandoned figuration, to which he returned repeatedly at various points in his life, exploring, in addition, the connection between the historical avant-garde and its contributions and traditional Japanese art.
