Hisao Domoto (1928-2013)

Coming from a family of painters and collectors, Domoto was trained in the fine arts of Kyoto. Apart from a first trip to Europe, he will meet his compatriots, Yasse Yabuchi, Toshimitsu Imai, Key Sato and Kumi Sugaï.

He left Japan to settle in Paris in 1955 and stayed there until 1965. He established a relationship with Sam Francis, Riopelle, Soulages and Zao Wou-Ki. Representative of the Japanese avant-garde to Western artists. He is one of the outstanding figures of lyrical abstraction while leading a singular career inseparable from his Japanese culture. He was exhibited at Stadler from 1957 and became a major figure in informal art.

From 1963, he abandoned his Lyrical form in order to devote himself to more geometric painting.

In 1979, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris devoted a retrospective to him. In 2005, a second major retrospective was dedicated to him at the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.
