Toko Shinoda is one of the most internationally celebrated Japanese abstract printmakers of the 20th century. Trained in calligraphy from childhood, she relocated to New York in 1956, merging Eastern calligraphic brushwork, negative-space aesthetics and Western modern abstract art. Her works are held in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the British Museum and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. She is regarded as a national treasure-level artist of Japan. The An Ode (頌) series is her iconic body of work, highly regarded by international print collectors. The composition uses black, white and grey to form abstract calligraphic forms. Halftone textures combined with solid heavy ink blocks create a simple yet powerful visual, fully embodying the artist’s unique style of calligraphic abstraction.
