      Nobuo Kubota, Blue Square, Serigraph 34/35 1974

      Est: $400 - $500

      Nobuo Kubota, Blue Square, Serigraph 34/35 1974. One of the most remarkable sound artists in Canada, Nobuo Kubota is a sculptor, installation artist, architect and sound singer. Born in Vancouver in 1932, and though raised in Canada was instilled with Japanese culture: language, Shinto legends, folk tales, music, and Noh theatre and opera. He came to identify with Zen Buddhism and used a Canada Council grant in 1972 to spend a year in Japan. Kubota was part of the “modernists” stable of the Isaacs Gallery in Toronto in the 1970s. As a member of the Canadian Creative Music Collective (CCMC) he performed with the Four Horsemen, a preeminent sound poetry quartet, and has nurtured a love of jazz, with scat singing influencing his sound singing. Created as part of the limited edition series of the Artists Jazz Band, 1974 Isaacs Gallery, Toronto. The prints all relate to the theme of jazz. A complete portfolio of all nine prints is in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada. The Artists’ Jazz Band itself was a pioneering Canadian free-jazz group initially composed of Toronto visual artists associated with the abstract-expressionist movement of the late 1950s. Collectively self-taught, it was formed in 1962 in a studio over the First Floor [jazz] Club by Dennis Burton, who played saxophone, and Richard Gorman, who played bass — both were members only briefly — with Graham Coughtry (trombone), Nobuo Kubota, (saxophones), Robert Markle (tenor saxophone and piano), and Gordon Rayner (drums). It included on a casual basis many other artists and musicians, including Bill Smith, Michael Snow, the bassist Jim Jones, and the guitarist Gerald McAdam.
