Saito Kiyoshi - Graphic Awakening

Exhibition catalogue from the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art of the woodblock prints of the Japanese artist Sait? Kiyoshi (1907�1997). This catalogue is the first comprehensive, scholarly publication on the Japanese print artist Sait? Kiyoshi to be published in English and accompanies the first major exhibition of his work in the United States since his death. Sait? was a central member of Japan�s creative print (s?saku hanga) movement, and one of the best known and most popular modern Japanese artists in the United States. His work is appreciated for his refined sense of design and active use of woodgrain. The fully-illustrated book includes thematic essays, illustrations demonstrating Sait?�s technique, discussion of seals and signatures, chronology, and bibliography.
