  INOKUMA GENICHIRO was a leading figure in modern Japanese Western-style painting. Known for his vibrant colors and free-form compositions, he poetically abstracted scenes from urban life and the everyday. While his early works were figurative, his time in New York in the 1950s marked a decisive shift to abstraction. Incorporating symbols and architectural motifs with rhythmic structures, he developed a distinctive style that balances order and playfulness. In addition to painting, he was actively involved in mural and design work.
  His major works are held in collections such as The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; the Kagawa Prefectural Museum; and the Marugame Genichiro Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art (MIMOCA).
