          JAPANESE INK CALLIGRAPHY PAINTING BY YUICHI INOUE

          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.

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.
