Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Hasagewa, prized 19th-century draughtsman

Kiyoshi Hasagewa (1891-1980), a Japanese artist, was successful on the auction market.

He graduated from Meiji University in Tokyo, then chose to learn painting alongside artist Okada Saburōsuke and Fujishima Takeji. He began by learning oil painting, before moving on to printmaking. He mastered several techniques, including woodcut and copperplate engraving.

He traveled to the United States, then settled in Paris in 1919. Only four years later, he managed to exhibit his first works there. He exhibited mainly at the Salon d'Automne, of which he became a member in 1961, but also at the Salon des Tuileries, the Salon des indépendants and the Société nationale des Beaux-Arts, in which he also became a member of the jury.

He presented works at the 1934 exhibition of modern Japanese prints. The works were exhibited in several capitals.

From 1957, the artist was a member of the Tokyo International Print Biennale.

His talent was recognized, and he illustrated numerous books in this capacity.

Hasagewa's imprint on 19th-century art

The artist imported new techniques to France and Europe, including that of black etching, and popularized woodcutting, which was not widely used. He was one of the best-known and most appreciated Japanese artists in France at the time. Today, his works still appeal to bidders and the public alike.

Recognizing the artist's signature

Not all of Hasagewa's works are signed, especially when it comes to drawings and prints. He may sometimes have signed his drawing or print on the frame, which may have disappeared or been changed over the years. This is why an estimate is important.
