Mitsuo Kano
Mitsuo Kano (b.1933) was a self-taught copperplate engraver who began showing his work in the mid-1950s. In the 1960s, he was highly acclaimed at numerous international exhibitions, including the Ljubliana International Print Biennale and the Tokyo International Print Biennale, and became one of Japan's leading artists. His early works were mainly monochrome copperplate prints evoking plants and creatures, followed by metal prints, lithographs, and objets d'art. He has also collaborated with poets such as Shuzo Takiguchi and Makoto Ooka, and has been involved in a wide range of activities including stage design and bookwork. In recent years, he has had solo exhibitions at Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art (2000), Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura, Kanagawa (2013), CCGA Contemporary Graphic Art Center, Fukushima/2017, and "Shuzo Takiguchi / Mitsuo Kano, Semiotech of Sea Swallow, 2019," Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art.
This exhibition features works from the "At the Breast Wall" series (oil, 40.4 x 31.2 cm), which were shown at his first solo exhibition of oil paintings at Akira Ikeda Gallery, Nagoya (1980), and his first solo exhibition of oil paintings at an art museum (Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art, 1983). This is the first time in about 40 years that more than 30 of his works have been exhibited together. Kano, who at the time had a strong image of prints, has continued to create epoch-making oil paintings up to the present day, and this series still makes a strong impression as one of his most representative works.
