(1929-2010) Born in Tokyo in 1929, Yamada began his artistic career amidst the chaos of postwar Japan. Being a self-taught artist, Yamada made his first participation in a public exhibition at the 1st Japan Independent Exhibition in February 1949. He held annual solo exhibitions in Tokyo from 1969-1997, which were remarked as influential and raised his fame. His works displayed at the ‘The 1960’s: A Decade of Change in Contemporary Japanese Art’ at The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo and Kyoto in 1981 increased his prominence, and his paintings were shown at a number of exhibitions both at home and abroad, including the Biennale de São Paulo held in 1987. Yamada’s large body of work is divided into three periods: Still-Life, Work, and Color. Fascinated by the symbolism of Nature Mortes as vanitas representing ephemerality and death, Yamada began his first series: Still-Life (1948-55). In this series Yamada depicted objects such as vessels and fruits in a style influenced by Giorgio Morandi and Paul Cézanne, which instilled a focus on shape and flatness that would define his entire career. He gradually disassembled the forms to its basic components of lines, shapes and colors, developing into his second and most influential period: Work (1956-95). Abve picture Work C.103, 1961-1962 Oil paint on canvas 130.3 x 97 cm Yamada’s Work series consists of abstract paintings using motifs such as stripes, crosses and grids. These paintings, and particularly the stripes ones, seem mechanical and flawless at first sight. However, on close inspection the colored bands show subtle variation of texture and brushstrokes, sometime deliberately, at other times accidentally, unveiling a world of sensitivity within the canvas. In spite of the rich palette used within a single work, the colors do not interfere with one another, giving a sense of evenness of the canvas that led to his last period: Color (1997-2010). Yamada undertook his last series in a constant pursuit of the flatness of painting, filling the entire plane with a single shade of color. Yamada’s philosophical approach towards artmaking, established on an internal logic based on form and color, challenged the fundamental visual experience of paintings. Devoting his life to painting for 50 years, some 5 000 pieces Yamada left in his lifetime are recently under reevaluation for their unique position in Japanese Modern Art. In the years following his death in 2010, his fame continued to rise, and his first large scale retrospective was held in 2016 at The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and Kyoto.
