Artist
Haku Maki
Haku Maki was a Japanese printmaker and painter whose abstract works in woodblock and lithography emerged from the radical experimentation of postwar Tokyo. Working across multiple techniques including traditional ukiyo-e methods and modernist abstraction, Maki developed a distinctive vocabulary of gestural marks, calligraphic forms, and restrained color fields. His prints reconciled Japanese printmaking heritage with European abstraction, creating a hybrid formal language that neither tradition claimed entirely.
