Original Painting. "Poem 70-64" by listed artist Maki Haku

Description: Maki Haku (巻白, 1924–2000) is the artistic name of Maejima Tadaaki, who was born in Ibaraki Prefecture. He was a sōsaku-hanga artist in 20th Century Japan.During World War II, Maejima Tadaaki was trained as a kamikaze pilot in the Japanese air force, but the war ended before he was assigned a mission. Haku had no formal art training, but studied for two years with the sōsaku-hanga artist Onchi Kōshirō (1891–1955). Two unique qualities of Maki Haku prints are the textures achieved by working the designs in wet cement and the use of Kanji (Chinese characters) as design motifs.[5] In 1962, he started adding texture to his prints. At first, he added texture to the entire sheet after it was printed. In 1965, he began embossing designs into unprinted paper by using a press to transfer a design created in cement on a carved plywood board, and then adding color with stencils.[6][7] He distorted and rearranged the strokes of Chinese characters to produce striking and serene images. For example, Poem 71-91 is a highly stylized representation of the kanji 無, which is pronounced mu and means nothingness, an important concept in some forms of Buddhism. Haku participated in the Tokyo International Print Biennale in 1957 and 1960. The book Festive Wine: Ancient Japanese Poems from the Kinkafu is a translation of 21 ancient poems called Kinkafu or Music for Wagon Songs. The translation is accompanied by Maki Haku's prints that were made in 1968–69. The Art Institute of Chicago, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are among the public collections holding prints by Maki Haku.[8][9]Fernand-Renault had a talent for painting landscapes, many being views of Brittany, but he also painted some very beautiful female nudes. As a Post-impressionist, he painted with large brushstrokes, broad and generous, in pastel tones, his hand was safe and the composition was built up without hesitation. Occasionally, a couple of characters could be seen walking within his compositions, giving the peaceful image of Brittany.. 🎨🌸PAYMENT: PayPal only.

SHIPPING: Shipping, 3 to 5 business days after payment has cleared otherwise indicated on my listing. Item will be shipped normally by USPS. Once the item is in your hands, no returns or exchanges are offered. No discounts for shipping on multiple purchases. I could make an exception, depending on your situation and on how much the item(s) sold (it’s at my own discretion). I can consider shipping similar items that ship well together, like two paintings of the same size that don’t have a frame or individual sheets of watercolor paintings. It is normally a lot more work to ship items together, than individually. On bulky items, or paintings with frames, I am not going to offer discounts on combined shipping, even if I ship them that way. Ask for combined shipping discounts before you bid. I may not even offer it especially if item does not sell for more than the starting price. The listed shipping S&H Cost is for the United States, the mainland only. If you want shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or other US territories, or any country for that matter that would have to be arranged. Buyer pays for S&H. Should I miscalculate the shipping cost, and when I go to the post office, it'll cost me more than what I originally charged you. I will not ship the product. I will send you a message telling you what it will really cost. I won't even charge you for my time and materials should I make that mistake, and only charge you the exact amount indicated by the post office. Should you not want the product after all, I can refund you what you paid.
