Hideo Hagiwara (Japanese, 1913-2007). "Soil" #19 from the Soil series, an artist proof, 1960. Beneath the image are "Ep. D'Artiste" (artist proof), title, date, and artist's signature handwritten in pencil. A color woodblock by Hideo Hagiwara, a contemporary master of the Japanese woodblock technique, entitled Soil #19. It is an abstract composition, and the title suggests that Hagiwara was responding to the Earth Art (also Land Art, environmental art, and Earthworks) movement that emerged in the 1960's. His abstract style, which began a couple of years earlier in 1958, suits the Soil series perfectly. Hagiwara is also known for employing innovative printmaking techniques; see more on this below. Size: 22.25" L x 16.375" W (56.5 cm x 41.6 cm); 31" L x 24" W (78.7 cm x 61 cm) framed
According to Gaston Petit, "It was with the Soil series that he devised a new technique: printing the paper on both sides. Forcing the pigment through the paper, he actually dyed the paper from the back, producing a textural surface on which to work. One feels the unity between picture and paper through the integrated layers of penetration and depth. This technique was used by Hagiwara in the renowned Stone Flower series, a corpus of work which notably enhanced the prestige of Japan in the contemporary print world." (44 Modern Japanese Print Artists, Gaston Petit, Kodansha International Ltd., 1973, vol. I, p. 112.
Hideo Hagiwara was born in Kofu City, Yamanishi Prefecture in 1913 and lived in Korea and Manchuria during his youth. In 1929, he returned to Japan and soon studied oil painting at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. He was fortunate to study woodblock printing with Hiratsuka Un'ichi (Japanese, 1895-1997), a prominent figure in the sosaku hanga (creative print) movement. Although he worked primarily as a painter during the first two decades of his career and painted throughout his career, he engaged in woodblock printing during his recuperation from tuberculosis (1953-1955) - exploring abstraction in the late 1950's. Hagiwara began to receive international acclaim in the 1960s, and his work was featured in numerous international exhibitions. Hagiwara also served as Chair of the Japanese Print Association for numerous years. Perhaps one of his proudest moments, he was awarded a gold medal by the Nobel Prize Committee in 1989 for five works produced on themes inspired by the novels of Kawabata Yasunari. Hagiwara passed away on November 4, 2007 at age 94.
Provenance: Estate of William Stockton, Colorado, USA; acquired between July 20, 1966 and January 7, 1974 while Mr. Stockton was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. During this period he traveled primarily to Korea, but also to Japan, Vietnam, and other countries in Southeast Asia.
