{"product_id":"ap_24355","title":"Montagne Ste Victoire 1992","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"160\" data-end=\"459\"\u003eThis 1992 original lithograph titled \u003cem data-start=\"201\" data-end=\"227\"\u003eMontagne Sainte-Victoire\u003c\/em\u003e was created by the Japanese printmaker \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eShoichi Hasegawa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. The print is numbered 1\/150 and hand-signed by the artist, confirming its place within a limited edition produced under the artist’s supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"844\"\u003eThe title refers to the celebrated \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMontagne Sainte‑Victoire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, a landmark in southern France that has inspired generations of artists. Hasegawa’s interpretation does not depict the mountain in a literal or traditional landscape style. Instead, he transforms the subject into a poetic and abstract vision that evokes the rhythms and textures of the natural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"1294\"\u003eThe composition is structured in layered horizontal bands suggesting earth, rock, and water, while delicate white engraved lines create intricate networks of symbols and organic patterns. Floating circular forms appear in the sky like planets or fragments of memory, adding a dreamlike quality to the scene. The interplay of blues, reds, and soft pastel tones gives the print a luminous atmosphere reminiscent of light over the Provençal landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1751\"\u003eHasegawa’s work is distinguished by its combination of technical precision and lyrical abstraction. Having settled in Paris during the 1960s, he became known for pushing the boundaries of contemporary printmaking through experimental techniques that blend etching, aquatint, and lithographic processes. His prints often resemble maps of imaginary territories or microscopic worlds, inviting viewers to explore layers of meaning within the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1753\" data-end=\"2177\"\u003eBy referencing the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, Hasegawa subtly engages with a major motif of modern art history. The mountain became famous through the work of \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003ePaul Cézanne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, whose studies of the landscape helped shape the development of modern painting. Hasegawa’s abstract vision pays homage to this artistic legacy while interpreting the subject through the language of contemporary printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2491\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eToday, works such as \u003cem data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2226\"\u003eMontagne Sainte-Victoire\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrate the richness of late twentieth-century printmaking, where traditional techniques meet experimental creativity. Through color, texture, and intricate linework, Hasegawa transforms a historic landscape into a meditative and imaginative visual experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Lithograph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbstract\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumbered 1\/150 and hand-signed by the artist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, slight creases\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasegawa Shoichi","offers":[{"title":"58 x 76 \/ A-","offer_id":53026194293063,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_24355Insta2.jpg?v=1773153836","url":"https:\/\/galerie-1881.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ap_24355","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
