In the 1960's and 1970's, the late sosaku hanga master Haku Maki did a series of prints with fruit as his subject. Later he started making collage prints with such subjects as potatoes and peaches. This is one of the finer peach collage prints by the Sosaku-hanga master, Haku Maki. The peach jumps out from the black ground to the point that you want to grab and eat it. There are some gold Kanji characters in the upper right – not translated. The print measures 10 ¾” by 9 3/8” - - the image size is 9 ¼” by 9”. It is in excellent condition and appears to have never been framed. It is pencil numbered – 17/24 – titled and signed by Maki and bears his seal in white on the black background. These Maki collage prints are very rare today and this is one of the nicest. Haku Maki was one of the grand masters of the Sosaku-hanga print movement. Maki Haku 巻白 (1924-2000) is the artistic name of Maejima Tadaaki, who was born in Ibaraki Prefecture. He had no formal art training, but was guided by the sōsaku hanga leading artist Onchi Kōshirō (1891-1955). Maki Haku is best known for his abstract-calligraphic prints. He distorted and rearranged characters and strokes to produce striking and serene images. Maki passed away in 2000; as a result his prints are rapidly escalating in price and value as this talented artist will no longer be producing his unique work. |
