Hiroyuki Tajima

Green Wall

Hiroyuki Tajima's original woodcut, "Green Wall" is printed upon thick mulberry paper and with full, deckled margins as published in Tokyo in 1970 in the small edition of fifty impressions. It is signed, titled, dated and numbered, '50 - 42', by the artist in pencil along the lower margin. The primary inspiration in this work of art is based upon Tajima's purely abstract exploration of light, color and texture. "Green Wall" is a fine, original example of the abstract art created by the 20th century Japanese artist, Hiroyuki Tajima.

Title:	Green Wall
Artist:	Tajima, Hiroyuki (Tokyo, 1911 - 1984)
Date:	1970
Medium:	Original Japanese Woodcut
Note:	"Every Hiroyuki Tajima work seems to glow from behind, as though it incorporated a fluorescent light shielded by a mysteriously textured fabric. ... Tajima's technique consists of brushing intensely colored dyes over a dark-colored medium, imparting luminosity to the white areas while enriching the basic colors of the print. The textured areas fade off into dark planes, seeming to float on a cool liquid. Thus the fascinating, bubbly shapes are set off by simple, relaxing ground forms. In this end, this rare combination of intricacy and confident simplicity makes Hiroyuki Tajima's work both exciting and reassuring." *
	A leading printmaker of Japan's post-war era, Hiroyuki Tajima graduated from Nihon University (1932) and the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (1943). He also studied under the Sosaku Hanga artist, Nagase Yoshi, and took instructions in fabric dyeing from Hirakawa Matsugoro.
	Hiroyuki Tajima's first published print was created in 1946. During this year he also joined the Bijutsu Bunka Kyokai, the newly formed association responsible for reviving interest in abstract and surrealist forms of art. Hiryoki Tajima became a full member of the Japanese Print Association, Nihon Hanga Kyokai, in 1963. During the 1960's and 1970's his original prints were shown in numerous national and international exhibitions, including the Tokyo Biennale, in 1964.
	Scholars have pointed to influences of East Asian calligraphy, traditional Japanese painting and spacial elements derived from Zen Buddhism in Hiroyuki Tajima's art. The primary inspiration of his art, however, is based upon his purely abstract exploration of light, color and texture. As one can see in Green Wall, Hiroyuki Tajima is a major twentieth century master of these forms.
