ATTR TO KENZO OKADA ABSTRACT JAPANESE OIL PAINTING

Attributed to Kenzo Okada, Japanese, American, 1902 to 1982, oil painting on canvas depicting an abstract composition. Signed lower right. Framed. Stamped and numbered, on the backside. Kenzo Okada is known for Geometric non obclandscape painting, mural. Kenzo Okada emigrated to the United States and arrived in New York in 1950, during the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement. His work underwent complete transformation. He became an abstract painter in the American fashion, but with an inexpressible Oriental nature, with textures reminiscent of Japanese fabric and the subtle, exquisite coloration of traditional Japanese painting. Later his work incorporated the knowledge of Zen, piercing with form and color and often incorporating figurative elements inspired by the ancient Japanese Noh drama. Okadas work uses characteristics of Yugenism from the Japanese word yugen referring to Japanese aesthetic values that emphasize suggestiveness. Using Western style canvases to express such themes, Okada would paint in white, hinting at the void often used in Japanese traditional paintings to show depth.
