Rating and artist's value Kiyoshi Hasegawa

Hasagewa, a popular 19th-century draughtsman

Kiyoshi Hasagewa (1891-1980), a Japanese artist, is successful on the auction market.

He graduated from Meiji University in Tokyo, then chose to learn painting alongside artist Okada Saburōsuke and Fujishima Takeji. He began by learning oil painting, before moving on to etching. He masters several techniques, including woodcut and copperplate engraving.

He traveled to the United States, then settled in Paris in 1919. Only four years later, he managed to exhibit his first works there. He exhibited mainly at the Salon d'Automne, of which he became a member in 1961, but also at the Salon des Tuileries, the Salon des indépendants and the Société nationale des Beaux-Arts, where he also became a member of the jury.

He presents works at the 1934 exhibition of modern Japanese prints. The works are exhibited in several capitals.

In 1957, the artist joined the Tokyo International Print Biennial.

His talent is recognized, and he illustrates numerous books in this capacity.

Hasagewa's imprint on 19th-century art

The artist imported new techniques to France and Europe, including black etching, and popularized wood engraving, which was not widely used. He was one of the best-known and most appreciated Japanese artists in France at the time. Today, his works continue to appeal to bidders and the public alike.

Recognizing the artist's signature

Not all Hasagewa's works are signed, especially his drawings and prints. He may sometimes have signed his drawing or print on the frame, which may have disappeared or been changed over the years. This is why the estimate is important.
