About the Item

YU-ICHI (1916-1985) to appear Ink on Japanese paper Japan, 1981 88 x 97 cm Catalogue Raisonné No. 81034 YU-ICHI (1916-1985) is one of the most important Japanese artists of the 20th century and his name is mentioned with the ones like Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Pierre Alechinsky and Henri Michaux. The critic Herbert Read discusses YU-ICHI in his work "A Concise History of Modern Painting", which also includes one of his paintings. Robert Motherwell even describes him in his notes as one of the few great artists of the second half of the 20th century. Although YU-ICHI's contribution to the documenta II in Kassel in 1959 and participation in exhibitions held at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Kunsthalle in Baden-Baden in 1963, and the Galerie Zwirner in Cologne in 1965 certainly boosted his popularity, he eschewed taking part in exhibitions on a regular basis, preferring instead to devote his energies to the artistic, creative process. His extremely self-critical attitude and assessment of his works and his practice of destroying everything he found to be "inferior" meant that his entire estate was able to be published in a three-volume catalogue of his work. YU-ICHI conveys his artistic energy through logographic "kanji" characters, which he uses as a metaphor for communicating his artistic message, his internal state. His focus is not on the aesthetics of the characters, but rather on the unfettered development of his inner power as directly expressed by the writing. He overcomes traditional calligraphy in favor of radical expressiveness. He gained international recognition as an artist early on, as evidenced by his participation in important exhibitions: Kassel; National Museum of Modern Art, Tôkyô and Kyôto; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
