Specialist note

Masaaki Yamada was an abstract painter who moved from producing Cubist still lifes to pure abstraction in the late 1940s-1950s. He then moved to depicting stripes during the late 1950s and 1960s, followed by “juxtaposed rectangles”.

After 1970, Masaaki Yamada started painting grids. For a similar style of work on canvas also painted in 1987 in the collection of The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, go to http:/search.artmuseums.go.jp/search_e/records.php?sakuhin=5114
