Kiyoshi Hasegawa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kiyoshi Hasegawa (長谷川潔 Hasegawa Kiyoshi?, December 9, 1891 – December 13, 1980) is a Japanese artist and engraver who spent most of his life in France and whose work is featured at the Yokohama Museum of Art.[1]

According to one source his work shows

the influence of Chagall, Dufy, Laboureur, Pascin, Picasso and Edouard Goerg Alas. He revived the so-called Mezzotint technique and found the power and the depth of black in wood engraving. Works such as Hasegawa's come from the heart. His art is subtle and delicate. It is an ideal created in the silence of the workshop with memories of the recent past, transposed by the sharpness and delicacy of Oriental sensibilities.[2]
