Description: HIROYUKI TAJIMA WOODBLOCK PRINT, "HALF RUINED WALL" B 1969 64X50 Centimeters 25x19.5 inches Tajima Hiroyuki田嶋宏行Occupation or TypeprintmakerBioTajima emerged during the 1960s as a major figure incontemporary Japanese prints and soon became known for his inventivecombinations and manipulations of media. He studied art at both NihonUniversity and Tokyo Art School, and he also sought out instruction in fabricdyeing and watercolor painting. After World War II, he produced abstact oilpaintings and was involved in the revival of surrealist abstraction, a stylethat had been banned by the militarists. His experimental art-making moved in anew direction after learning woodblock printing from Nagase Yoshirô(1891-1978), to which he applied color photography processes. Late in life,Tajima moved away from graphic art to writing and the study of the teaceremony.Tajima's prints are characterized by a three-dimensional qualitythat stems from his idiosyncratic techniques. He chisels, shellacs, anddistresses his blocks, and coats the block with a variety of pigments, textiledyes, and oil emulsions to create a complex, textured surface. The results areincandescent, memorable compositions. Credit to the Portland Art Museum for Photo and Bio.
