Description
Composed of rhythmic horizontal bands of color extending edge to edge, Work C.p 119-2 (1962) exemplifies Yamada’s mature exploration of structure and restraint. Each stripe, individually mixed and layered, reveals subtle variations of hue and texture—greens, ochres, blacks, and whites shifting in measured succession. The paint, applied thickly yet evenly, creates shallow ridges that animate the surface with quiet tension. The work achieves a sense of both precision and calm, embodying Yamada’s lifelong pursuit of order and harmony through repetition.

III by Kim Lim, 1991 Additional information: Medium: woodcut on paper 36 x 32.5 cm 14 1/8 x 12 3/4 in signed and dated in pencil verso Kim Lim was born in Singapore and spent much of her early childhood in Penang and Malacca. After her schooling in Singapore, Lim knew that she wanted to become an artist, and at eighteen, she enrolled at St. Martin's in London, where she spent two years concentrating mainly on wood carving. She then transferred to the Slade, where taught by the etcher Anthony Gross and lithographer Stanley Jones, she developed a strong commitment to print making. On journeys back to Singapore she stopped off in Europe and India, soaking up the art 'like a sponge'. These were the experiences that confirmed in her a lifelong predilection for things archaic, and for the flow and rhythm of Indian and South East Asian sculpture: " I found that I always responded to things that were done in earlier civilizations that seemed to have less elaboration and more strength." In Greece she was entranced by Cycladic sculpture. Of Chinese art she was moved most by early Shang bronzes, Han sculpture, Sung pottery...
