MASATOYO KISHI KUKI ABSTRACT STONE SCULPTURE
Est: -
Masatoyo Kishi Kuki (1924 - 2017) Limited Edition Abstract Stone Sculpture. Limited Edition 28/200. Painter, printmaker, and sculptor Masatoyo Kishi was born in Sakai, Japan, on March 11, 1924. Kishi graduated from the Tokyo University of Science in 1953 with degrees in physics and mathematics, pursuing painting on his own time. After a short career as a mathematics teacher, Kishi began exhibiting with Tekkei Kai, a group of abstract painters affiliated with the Kyoto Museum of Art. He said, “As a Japanese artist in the 1950s in Tokyo, I didn't go to art school. Japanese artists studied literature, economics, science; then you explored art." He was greatly influenced by Taoism, Buddhism, and 17th century Japanese folk art. In 1960 Kishi moved from Japan to San Francisco, having established ties with museums and galleries in the Bay Area while still living in Japan. He exhibited throughout the Bay Area and the U.S., and began his concurrent teaching career, first at Holy Names College in Oakland and then Dominican College in San Rafael. Beginning in the 1970s Kishi's focus switched to sculpture, and by the mid '70s he was working almost exclusively in the three dimensional medium. In 1998, he relocated to Grass Valley, California, where he lived and worked until his death in 2017. Approx. Net Weight: 30lbs Keywords: ArtSculpture, Modern, Contemporary, Japanese, Asian; Ref: BD1465
