Toeko Tatsuno (辰野 登恵子, Tatsuno Toeko, 13 January 1950 – 19 September 2014) was a Japanese abstract painter and printmaker, and former professor at Tama Art University in Japan. Her birth name was Toeko Naka (中 登恵子, Toeko Naka).
Biography
編集Early Life and Education (1950-)
編集Toeko Tatsuno was born in Okaya-city, Nagano Prefecture in Japan.[1] She started painting when she was a junior high school student.[2] She graduated from Suwa Futaba High School in Nagano Prefecture in March 1963.[1]
In April of the same year, she entered the Department of Painting at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.[1] During her undergraduate years at the university, she formed an artistic group, ‘Cosmos Factory (「コスモ・ファクトリー」)’ with two of her classmates from the same department, Toshio Shibata (柴田 敏雄, Shibata Toshio) and Shin’ichi Kamatani (蒲谷 伸一, Kamatani Shin’ichi). In the aftermath of the Japanese university protests, when regular classes were not held, they created a dark space in the corner of the empty classroom to reproduce photographs and create silk screens. Following her first exhibition in 1971, the Cosmos Factory had their group exhibition in the Gallery Matsumura (村松画廊, Matsumura-Garō)[3] in 1971 and 1973.[4] By silkscreening with photomechanical printing presses, she established her style of incorporating existing images and photographs into her work. Tatsuno mentioned that the style was born from a situation where ‘the act of painting on canvas with a brush was considered completely old-fashioned’[5]. She graduated with her bachelor’s degree in 1972 and proceeded to her master’s degree in 1974.[1]
Career
編集In 2004, she began teaching at Tama Art University, which was innovative at the time, when there were few full-time female faculty members.[6]
____
It was a series of prints featuring grit made in the same year as Dots’ works that gave the artist 'a sense of completing my original work for the first time’ that was not borrowed from other artists.[7]
The use of dots in her work was inspired by the expression of dots in Roy Lichtenstein's works.[8] They sparked her interest in the expression that emerges from the combination of the incidental nature of work by prints and the artificiality made by the artist's unique hand movement.[8]
