Lot description
Property of Jane Tucker-Radley Description: Yutaka Ohashi (NY/Japan, b. 1923) Untitled Abstract, Mixed Media on Canvas, 1963, signed, dated 1963 and possibly titled Fortress verso, in a giltwood frame. Frame size:22 in. x 16 3/4 in. Yutaka Ohashi was born on August 19, 1923, in Hiroshima. During World War II, he attended the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. Ohashi continued his studies in Boston at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1950 - 1955. He had his first solo exhibition at BostonÕs Margaret Brown Gallery in fall 1955, in the following years his work was displayed at group shows at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts (1956); Art Institute of Chicago (1957); and Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (1957). He reicieved the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1959 and again in 1960. Ohashi was known for paintings that integrated the restrained, purposeful act of collage, adding texture and changing registers of density to large, encompassing abstract forms. He added semitransparent layers of rice paper to the foreground of his paintings and, at times, partly obscured the rice paper with layers of oil paint. This technique, combined with large swaths of negative space and occasional highlights in gold leaf, contributes to fluctuating perceptions of space within OhashiÕs compositions.
