1955 VINTAGE ABSTRACT MODERNIST NY OIL PAINTING Mid Century Signed Kinnosuke Fujisaki. Kinnosuke Fujisaki (professionally known as SAKI) was born in the Republic of Formosa, Japan in the late 1800s. He came to the United States at a young age. He was an accomplished traditional Japanese dancer and performer in New York City throughout the 1930s and is associated with Ruth St.

Denis (creator and pioneer of Modern Dance). He performed regularly at the Brooklyn Museum in 1938. Not much is known about him during the years of WWII, but in 1945 he was able to find work as a chauffeur on the East Coast, as he required special permission from the Department of Justice to travel within the United States. Through his association with the Brooklyn Museum and the early Avant Garde movement in NYC from the 1930s onward. SAKI was one of the very few Japanese artists to come into contact at such an early period with European Modernists fleeing the war.

He also associated with native New Yorkers who would go on to create the first truly American art, which would become abstract expressionism. Working within the theater district, SAKI was exposed to and influenced the birth of American Modernism. This rare collection of his paintings we will be offering reveal SAKI's highly stylized and extremely unique sensibility, bringing together elements of traditional Japanese culture (Shintoism) with his own sense of lyrical physicality.
