    JAPANESE INK CALLIGRAPHY PAINTING BY YUICHI INOUE

    Est: $100 - $150

    Yuichi Inoue, Japanese, 1916 to 1985, Showa era, 1926 to 1989, Calligraphy brushed in sumi ink on paper. Signed in red, lower left. Framed. Yuichi Inoue was a Japanese avant garde calligrapher who embodied the self discipline and experimental spirit of Japans early post war decades. Inoue received his training under the renowned calligrapher Sokyu Ueda and, for a period, experimented with total abandonment of sho calligraphy conventions. He emerged as one of the prominent figures among a generation of avant-garde Japanese artists who gained national and international recognition in the post war era following the collapse of the conservative value system. One of a kind artwork.

    Est: €12,000 - €15,600

    India Ink on Japan paper, laid down on hardboard Japan, 1962 Inoue Yūichi (1916-1985) - Japanese painter and calligrapher Red seal at the lower right On the reverse a label in handwriting ‘No. 8 / Mother No. 3, 62 / 102,2 x 134 cm Inoue Yuichi’ Dimensions: 102,5 x 134 cm Framed: 115 x 145 cm With the large scale sheet Inoue Yūichi separates himself from the ancient traditions of the calligraphy Estimate by Auctionata Expert: 24,000 Euro Inoue Yūichi mediates an inner state through the writing characters (kanji). What is important is not the aesthetics of the characters, but the free unfolding of his inner power, expressed through writing. With the radical expressivity of his works the artist overcomes the traditional Japanese calligraphy. Condition: The sheet is laid down on hardboard. A horizontal notch is noticeable in the upper third of the picture. The rims show small material losses. The paper is slight browned and partially little stained. Visually is the work in good condition. The dimensions of the hardboard are 102,5 x 134 cm. The overall dimensions with frame are 115 x 145 cm. Inoue Yūichi (1916-1985) The 1916 in Tokyo born Inoue Yūichi studied calligraphy under Sokyu Ueda (1899-1986). 1951 followed the first individual exhibition of his calligraphic works in his home city and shortly afterwards he became a co-founder of the Calligraphy society (Bokujin-kai). 1959 he was represented in documenta 2 in Kassel. Today he belongs to the most important modern and avantgarde calligraphy artists in Japan. The representatives of the movement freed the calligraphy from its textual nature and created characters as pure shape. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
