Tsuda Pine Grove: Shiko Munakata (1903 – 1975)
I want to strip my work of ‘effects’ until it stands monolithic, based on reality and yet transcending it. It must flow naturally from my materials, from the way of the chisel and the way of the block…..
Easier said than done. Yet, he still creates and shows his work. That’s all I want.
The thought is as impressive as the work. .
