Artist Bio: | Tadashige Ono, 1909-1990 Tadashige Ono had studied art at the Hongo Painting Institute. He soon became an active member of the hanga movement and joined several associations. After world war II, he contributed to the Tokyo Print Biennale of 1957. He became professor at Tokyo University of Fina Arts and other art universities in Japan, published many books on printmaking and its history. The style of Tadashige Ono was strongly influenced by German expressionism. Tadashige Ono often used a very absorbent Japanese paper and painted it with dark background colours before applying it to the woodblocks. This method rendered Ono's works with the distinctive, dark, disquieting mood he preferred. (from Artelino) |
