Description from the seller
Yoshishige Saito – Trabalo – Work originating from a XXth-century art book (Mazenod, 1959) – A piece aged 67 years
Description of the work
We present to you a work attributed to Yoshishige Saito, titled Trabalo.
An important figure of Japanese abstraction in the 20th century, Yoshishige Saito develops a pictorial language based on structure, material, and the balance of forms, in a pared-down and rigorous approach to composition.
This work comes from a XXth-century art book (Mazenod, 1959), a period during which modern creations were disseminated through reference artistic editions, enabling wide circulation of international abstract art.
Dated 1959, this piece traverses time today with 67 years of existence, constituting an authentic fragment of the history of modern art and its editorial transmission.
The whole offers a sober and structured abstract reading, characteristic of the artist’s research around form and visual space.
