Saito's ever popular and well-loved woodblock prints sell for high amounts of money (normally over $15OO each).  Always a proponent of a classless society, Kiyoshi Saito created art for everyone.  The beautiful cards I offer were made to allow more people to enjoy his work.  These cards provide affordable alternatives for the discriminating art lover.  I have a limited number of these incredible Art Cards, and have never seen them offered anywhere else, so this is a special offering and rare opportunity to acquire and own Out of Print Saito images.

This fantastic geometric image is on a large greeting card:

 6  3/4" by 4  1/2" closed and 6  3/4" by 9" open  

On an episode of Antiques Roadshow, in Cleveland, 2 Saito prints were featured and appraised. Highly collectible, with unique Cubist, Modern and Abstract elements, his prints are worth many hundreds of dollars. These greeting cards are excellent examples of Saito's amazing work.

I am giving you an exceedingly rare opportunity to buy this fabulous and very special KIYOSHI SAITO (1907-1997) print purchased directly from Saito in Japan

Japanese Prints

 This piece would look so fantastic displayed alone or in a small or large grouping

There is no reserve on this absolutely gorgeous, supremely wonderful Art Card by the master Japanese woodblock artist KIYOSHI SAITO. Marvelous modern designs of three people walking in the rain, two with umbrellas and one in a bright sunshine yellow slicker, are extraordinarily gorgeous. Geometric pathways intersect with vertical tree trunks, creating a thrilling abstract design. What a fantastic, Mondrian ~ style composition! The rich green, deep brown, red, yellow, pure white, soft gray, and black colors are exceptionally striking and dramatic. These elegant works of art, with sweetly contrasting forms and colors, are sensual delights!

I am not sure when Saito first created this image, but its dramatic, abstract qualities look like 196Os art. A generous man, he donated some of his work to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The radiant, rich colors and fascinating Modern characteristics are exceptionally beautiful and vibrant. This elegant and powerful work of art resembles paintings by:

 Wassily Kandinsky  

This would look marvelous in any venue, displayed with other similar items, or simply displayed alone. What a wonderful gift this would be for any Saito collector or Ann Arbor resident or lover of Japanese art!

Kiyoshi Saito's incredibly beautiful prints are displayed in a museum dedicated to him alone - the Yanaizu Municipal Saito Kiyoshi Museum (in Japan), and in the following: Cincinnati Art Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, San Francisco, New York Public Library, Art Institute of Chicago, Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art, Kanagawa Prefectural Museum. His work was exhibited at the Salon Printemps in 1948, and in 1951 he received first prize for Steady Gaze at the inaugural Sao Paolo Bienniale. The modern school of Japanese prints gained tremendous prominence from these pivotal events.
