MUNETSUGU SATOMI (1900-1995) JAPAN. 1937. 39x25 inches. Seihan Printing Co., Osaka.
MUNETSUGU SATOMI (1900-1995) JAPAN. 1937.
39 1/4x25 1/4 inches. Seihan Printing Co., Osaka.
Condition A.
Satomi arrived in Paris in 1922, and was quickly recognized as an exceptional talent. He was lucky enough to work for a little while with Cassandre in his studio, and the master's influence on the young Japanese artist is clear. He went on to a successful career, fielding commissions both in France and Japan. In this poster, for the Japanese Tourist Board, he creates a strong, personal impression of a speeding train--impressively fast, yet still enormously beautiful. The image manages to compliment both Japanese technical prowess and the glory of the countryside at the same time. Voyage p. 51, Reclame 83, Art Deco 85.
All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues and are posted below.
