This Tadashi Sato painting was made in 1969 although it is untitled, it is a \u201cSea form\u201das he has titled other pieces. It depicts a sea anemone like form and a floating egg. it is an incredible painting with unusual colors for Tadashi Sato but done in his unique brush technique with lots of cross hatching in the surface of the painting. Giving an overall glistening surface. This abstract expressionist realm of painting is clearly like those American greats in the \u201cIrascibles\u201d group, such as William de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell and Mark Rothko. Tadashi studied in New York in the 1950\u2019s, worked at MOMA, to be able to study the great artists works housed there. He was discovered by several of the Theater stars and moved back to Maui where he was born and grew up. He is part of a group of American Asian artists group called \u201cThe Metcalf Chateau\u201d . He was awarded a Medal of Honor by President Lynden Johnson alongside artists Georgia O\u2019 Keefe and Jackson Pollock. His works are in several museums including the Guggenheim and can be seen in many of the offices of the State Capital in Honolulu.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
