Scarce Haku Maki Cement Relief Print Titled Poem 69 12

  
This ad is for a Haku Maki (1924 2000) pencil signed limited edtion & numbered print titled Poem 69 - 12. Haku Maki was a Japanese artist of the second half of the 20th century. Haku Maki was born in Aso-machi in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1924, as Maejima Tadaaki. In the late 1950s, he selected the name Haku Maki to show his humility and self-styled confusion. If translated literally, "Maki" is Roll, "Haku" is White. He first made his name and his living by producing prints featuring Chinese characters (kanji). His life as an artist dates from the mid-1950s, when the earliest known Maki prints began appearing. Maki produced about 2000 different images.

This makes him one of the most prolific Japanese print makers of his day. Yet he did not keep a running list of the prints as he made them. Moreover, there is no catalogue raisonné of his work. Artist: Haku Maki (1924 - 2000). Signature: Signed in Pencil Lower Right Haku Maki.

Size Overall w/ Frame: 13.5 x 18.25. Image Area: 7.25 x 10.75. Condition: Print is framed in a silver painted frame with a white mat.

Print looks to be in very good condition under glass, but has not been examined out of the frame. Print is signed by the artist Haku Maki - numbered 24/102 and titled Poem 69-12 in the lower margin. Print has the Haku Maki red imprint in print lower right. This print is a good example of his unique printing technique, using cement to give a strong embossed texture. Print has a blue textured background with a yellow sun, black stick figure imagery and a green abstract dot in the image. This and his use of Chinese characters, or kanji as a central motif are what he first became known for. In this print the kanji is in Japanese characters.
