Kenzo Okada (1902 - 1982) was active/lived in New York / Japan.  Kenzo Okada is known for Geometric non ob-landscape painting, mural.

Kenzo Okada, born in Yokahoma, Japan in 1902 as the son of a wealthy industrialist enjoyed a privileged life in Japan.  Okada attended Tokyo Fine Arts University where he painted in traditional realist style.  Despite his parent's apprehension towards his career in art, determination brought Okada to Paris in 1924, where he studied with fellow Japanese expatriate, Tsuguji Fujita.  Then in 1927, he returned to Japan to host his first one-man show, as a realist painter, at the Michido Gallery in Tokyo.  He also painted murals for the Hilton Hotel in Tokyo.

He emigrated to the United States and arrived in New York in 1950, during the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement.  His work underwent complete transformation.  He became an abstract painter in the American fashion, but with an inexpressible Oriental nature, "with textures reminiscent of Japanese fabric and the subtle, exquisite coloration of traditional Japanese painting."<   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 3601 characters.]  Artist bio
