1955 Mid Century Kaoru Kawano 1916-1965 Buddha Woodblock Print “ Figure with Eyes Closed“ Signed and Framed

This marvelous mid century woodblock print by Kaoru Kawano was done in 1955. The name of the print is - Figure with Eyes Closed.
The colors remain sharp and crisp, the print is signed and framed. The outside of the frame measures 15 and three-quarter inches by 12 and three-quarter inches. The opening of the mat measures 7 1/4” x 5 1/4”. There is a slight wave to the woodblock print in the matting which could be fixed with a framing adjustment. (Not noticeable when viewed straight on). 

Kaoru Kawano was born in 1916 in Hokkaido. In 1934 he studied art at the Kawabata Art School and was accepted by the Japan Print Society. World War II interrupted his work, and he ended up as a prisoner in Serbia. He survived and continued his work as an artist after the war was over. In 1954 he was awarded the Koguga prize and his work began to be recognized around the world, including exhibits in New York, Chicago , Seattle and Yugoslavia.

Using a mix of the old tradition of Japanese color woodblocks, as well as the Western approach, he creates a simplified, yet impressive, interpretation of his subjects. Kaoru Kawano mostly focused his art work on the subject of children and animals, although he has done some landscapes as well. In particular his work on denoting young girlhood gave him national recognition across Japan.

One of the biggest differences that sets Kaoru Kawano apart from other woodblock artists in his generation is the use of the grain in the woodblocks to his advantage in each of the pieces of art that he creates. It creates a beautiful element of texture and layering to his prints.

He has done both open and limited edition prints, while signing most of the work that was completed during his lifetime. The posthumous prints are noted by a PH with a circle around it usually on the verso of the print.

Kaoru Kawano’s prints can be seen in numerous places including the archives of many art museums. Museums such as the Art Institute of Chicago, Harvard University Art Museum in Massachusetts and the Brauer Museum of Art at the Valparaiso University in Indiana all have Kawano prints in their collections.

The soapstone is dark green, the condition is excellent however there are two natural fault lines in the piece that can be seen in the last two photographs where I have drawn arrows. The natural fault lines do not detract from the look or the stability of the item.
