A postcard reproducing a poster titled _Koshimaki-Osen_, created in 1966 by the Japanese graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker and painter Tadanori Yokoo (born 1936). It was published by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, probably in 1968 or 1972.
This postcard is about 4¼ x 5¾ size (108x147mm). It is postally used and in VG condition with some corner wear, a very faint bend, and small marks in the left margin.
Tadanori Yokoo began his career as a stage designer for avant garde theatre in Tokyo. His early work shows the influence of the New York based Push Pin Studio (Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast in particular) but Yokoo cites filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and writer Yukio Mishima as two of his most formative influences. In the late 1960s he became interested in mysticism and psychedelia, deepened by travels in India.
Because Yokoo’s work was so attuned to 1960s pop culture, he has often been described as the “Japanese Andy Warhol” or likened to psychedelic poster artist Peter Max, but this is nonsense; Yokoo’s complex and multi-layered imagery is intensely autobiographical and entirely original, and thus far more interesting. By the late 1960s he had already achieved international recognition and he was included in the 1968 “Word & Image” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1972 MoMA mounted a solo exhibition of his graphic work.
