MICHIO
TAKAYAMA: A RETROSPECTIVE
Masami Takayama
Wako Takayama
Foreword by David L. Witt
For
an abstractionist artist born in Japan, moving to Taos after
ten years in Los Angeles was routine in a place where the
unusual is common. The artistic value of Michio Takayama’s
work has held up over time for a number of reasons, but
an important one is a level of contrast built into many
of the paintings, perhaps a kind of yin and yang. At the
same time that color fields of yellow, red, or gray depict
a kind of ethereal serenity, they also fairly burst with
energy. This is no small accomplishment, but a technical—and
spiritual—mastery achieved by only our finest artists.
