Decalcomanias of Shuzo Takiguchi

Touch Me Not, 1962

Touch Me Not, 1962

Origin of Solitude, 1962

"Shuzo Takiguchi (1903 - 1979) worked extensively as a poet, art critic, and artist. He was a leading Japanese authority on surrealism, devoting his life to exemplifying the movement in its orthodox form. Starting in the 1950s, he began offering new experimental outlets for young postwar avant-garde artists who lacked opportunities for presenting their work in formats other than group exhibitions."
