$298.00

A 1964 woodblock print by the Japanese-American artist Ansei Uchima (1921-2000). Titled Summer Stream, this abstract work depicts a colorful abstract landscape with tall grasses and shrubbery next to a rippling stream. Signed and dated lower right, the print is titled lower left and numbered 43/200 to the lower center. The print is displayed in a gold tone metal frame and a white mat.

Born in Stockton, California, Uchima moved to Japan to study architecture at Waseda University in 1940. He eventually also began to study painting and printmaking. After WWII, Uchima worked as a translator for the American art collector, Oliver Statler. While working for Statler, he learned about the sosaku-hanga movement, a Japanese artistic movement infused with a Western modernist aesthetic, and began creating art in the same vein. He moved back to the United States in 1959 and went on to teach at Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University. A member of the Japan Print Society, Uchima has works in the collections of the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as well as others.
