Masterful Images: The Art of Kiyoshi Saito
- Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.
Kiyoshi Saito (Japanese, 1907 1997) was born in Aizu, where little had changed as the rest of the nation underwent rapid modernization. A craving for this sort of tradition, wedded to a powerful creative impulse, led the young artist to leave his sign-making business and devote his life to art. Working in printmaking with unconventional tools, determined to master all steps of a craft commonly divided among drafting, carving, and printing specialists, Saito made one-of-a-kind prints. Encompassing the full range of Saito s oeuvre, the 90 prints reproduced here are drawn from the collection of Canada s Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Includes an interpretive essay from Barry Till, curator of the museum s Asian art collection.
