    IZUMI SHIGERU, Japanese artist, born in Osaka. He graduated from the Crafts Design Department of Osaka Municipal Crafts School in 1934, and worked in the Advertising Department of Daimaru Osaka Store. In 1951, he participated in the formation of the "Association of Democrat Artists" and began making copperplate prints and lithographs under the influence of Ei-Q. In 1957, he received the Newcomer's Encouragement Award at the 1st Tokyo International Print Biennale. In 1959, he moved to New York, and in 1963, he moved to Paris, where he developed a style of geometric abstraction. After returning to Japan in 1968, he began using rulers, compasses, and airbrushes to experiment with abstraction without subjectivity. Since 1970, he had been a professor at Osaka University of Arts, where he has trained many young artists. In 2005, the exhibition "IZUMI SHIGERU's Legacy, 10 years after his death" was held at the Museum of Modern Art, Wakayama.
