Sanshin Yoshikawa dating history

Details

Sanshin Yoshikawa (吉川三伸, 1911–1985) was a Japanese painter associated with Surrealism and avant-garde art in Nagoya. Active in the city's prewar Surrealist milieu, he helped form the group Avant-Garde and was a founding member of the Nagoya Avant-Garde Club. In 1941, during the wartime repression of Japanese Surrealism, he was detained by the Special Higher Police, and his works and materials were confiscated; he was released in 1942 without indictment. After the war, he continued to work as a painter and later revisited his wartime detention in the Recollection of the Year 1940 series.
