Hideo Hagiwara (Japanese 1913-2007) Composition N gold lithograph 4/30 16 x 22" signed identified and editioned lower margin - Hagiwara held a number of solo exhibitions, featuring oil paintings (1951) and hanga (1956), at the Yoseido gallery in Tokyo. His hanga, in particular, drew the attention of the Japan Print Association, which featured several of his works at an annual exhibition. However, it was Hagiwara's abstract prints, which he began producing in 1958, which established his international reputation as an artist. He was soon the recipient of major awards at several international competitions, including the Tokyo, Krakow, Ljubljana, Banska, and Lugano Biennale(s). Notably, his series Stone Flower was shown at the International Tokyo Print Biennale (1960), and Man in Armor (1962–64) also received widespread recognition. In addition to his artistic talent, Hagiwara was remarkably innovative: he developed a system of printing utilizing the back of the paper to scratch into blocks or composed blocks from cut-up pieces. He further was able to simulate lithographic effects in woodblock prints. Several years later, in 1967, Hagiwara served as a visiting professor at the University of Oregon and a decade later became a lecturer at Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music. In 1979, he became chairman of the Japanese Print Association and maintained a dominant position within the woodblock printing community.
