Kazumi Amano is a Japanese artist born in Takaoka City, Tôyama Prefecture (Japan) in 1927, and was predominantly influenced by the 1930s. He graduated from the Takaoka High School of Industrial Arts in 1945, specializing in furniture design. In 1950, Amano studied briefly under Munakata Shikô. By 1953, he was exhibiting at the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Print Association), and then moved to Tokyo in 1955.
In 1968, Amano relocated to the United States, first working as a teacher at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois and Marycrest College, Davenport, Iowa. In 1971, he moved his family to New York City, where he worked for 30 years.
Amano's early work showed Munakata's influence, but his later prints were very different, characterized by elegant, precision-cut abstractions featuring forms (sometimes embossed) balanced against empty space. His compositions are filled with shapes hinting at industrial or furniture design. Amano spoke in abstractions about his art, and is reported to have said that he was interested in "dynamic opposition and disorder," or the "constant metamorphosis" from "natural evolution."
Amano won prizes at international print biennales in Lugano (1964), Tokyo (1966), and Krakow (1968). His works are represented in the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; the Toyama Modern Art Museum, Japan; the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Cincinnati Art Museum; the New York Public Library; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Miami Museum; the Seattle Art Museum; the Stockholm National Museum; the Elvehjem Museum of Art, Madison, WI; and the Fine Arts Museums, San Francisco.

Avissar, Simon (Israeli, 1938-2020) is a Postwar & Contemporary painter born in Casablanca. As a tireless nomad, he exhibited for the first time in 1961, in Jaffa, where he lived and worked for some time. He then moved to Paris, settling into a studio in Montparnasse and began with an exhibition of his work at the Galerie Charpentier in 1964, and after exhibited at Abel Rambert, the Galerie de l’Elysée, and the Galerie Bénézit in the 14 years he lived there. He then moved to the United States, including Washington, New York, and Lose Angeles, while continuing to travel to South America, Australia, and South Africa, exhibiting in many places he visited. His work integrates the contributions of the avant-garde with cubist simplification, chromatic audacity, and abstract geometry.
