About The Artist: Takeshi Kawashima

Sculptor, painter, and printmaker Takeshi Kawashima was born Takamatsu City, Kagawa prefecture, Japan, in 1930. He attended the School of Fine Art in Musashino, where he graduated in 1956. It was in Japan that he developed the gridded abstracts that he would become known for. In 1963, he relocated to New York and had already garnered enough attention to be invited to participate in 1965's major exhibit "The New Japanese Painting and Sculpture"...
