    • Clenched fist sculpted by interned Japanese-American
      Apr. 20, 2023

      Clenched fist sculpted by interned Japanese-American

      Est: $1,000 - $1,500

      Heading: Author: Uno, Sadayuki Thomas Title: Plaster sculpture of a clenched fist Place Published: Arkansas Publisher: Date Published: 1943 Description: Plaster sculpture, dated 1943 on the bottom. 28 cm (11") high. Plaster sculpture of a clenched fist, seemingly a muted protest by the Japanese American (Issei) artist Sadayuki Thomas Uno, created by him when he was interned at either the Jerome or Rohwer concentration camp in Arkansas (the sculpture is dated 1943, and he and his family seem to have been transferred from Jerome to Rohwer sometime in 1943). There are two holes drilled in the base, probably for mounting, and that has affected the date (though 1943 is clear), and the artist's signature.

    • interned Issei sculpts his daughter, 1942

      interned Issei sculpts his daughter, 1942

      Est: $1,000 - $1,500

      Heading: Author: Uno, Sadayuki Thomas Title: "Miyuki" - plaster bust Place Published: Arkansas Publisher: Date Published: 15843 Description: Plaster bust, titled on the front of the base, dated on the back and what appears to be the artist's monogram. 24 cm (9½") high. Plaster bust of the daughter of the Japanese American (Issei) artist Sadayuki Thomas Uno, created by him when both were interned at either the Jerome or Rohwer concentration camp in Arkansas (the sculpture is dated 5-17 1943, and the family seems to have been transferred from Jerome to Rohwer sometime in 1943).  Sadayuki Thomas Uno (1901-1989) was born in Hiroshima on January 1, 1901, and joined his father in California in 1917 when he was sixteen. He attended Oakland High School before receiving a scholarship at the California School of Arts and Crafts, where he studied briefly. In 1924, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, and then New York to work at a photography studio in Long Island and study at the New York Photography Institute, with the hopes of returning to Hollywood and working as a cinematographer in the film industry.   When his father fell ill in the late 1920s, Uno returned to the Bay Area and settled in Alameda, California, working as an interior decorator and later as a gardener. Uno was encouraged by the success of actor-director Sessue Hayakawa, and tried to find work in Hollywood but was not successful. However, he continued his artistic pursuits by painting and was married in 1931.   During World War II, Uno, his wife Hisaye and three children were sent first to the Fresno Assembly Center in California, and then to the Jerome and Rohwer concentration camps in Arkansas, where they remained until the end of the war. At Fresno, Uno began experimenting with woodcarving, using a butter knife to create wooden sculptures and masks, since traditional carving tools were considered contraband and prohibited. He also created an impressive body of work while incarcerated, including portrait and landscape paintings, and less-known sculptures such as the present example. At the Rohwer camp, Uno was also an instructor at the camp's art school with his longtime friend, Henry Sugimoto.
