1970. [PAINTING] Arikata Toshiro 有方敏郎
... An interesting oil (perhaps magna, acrylic oil) painting on board. 38cm X 45.4cm.... Dated on the rear as done in 1970. The title of the piece, also inscribed on the back, is VIEW OF THE SEA FROM MOUNT SEORAKSAN 雪獄山より海を望む
..... It is a famous place of natural beauty near the east coast of South Korea.... Arikata was born in 1922 and had a long artistic career. Interestingly his career was distinguished by the fact he was tutored in painting by Yoshihara Jiro, the founder of GUTAI. Arikata was in his early 30s.
The flat, unmodulated bold colors give this an almost surreal feeling, very anime, if you will. Is it sunrise or sunset? Seoraksan is famous for both. And the tiny ship at sea counterpoints the vastness of the scene.
With a bit of rubbing but still bold and visually very rich. (Inventory #: 91175)
