Matsumi (Mike) Kanemitsu
Illustrations of Southern California1970

Not on view
Vertical etching or aquatint print with two diagonal black branches crossing a crackled gray field; tiny figure perched at upper right tip, four hanging hats at lower right, small galloping horse and rider below
Ink drawing with energetic splatter marks combining multiple scenes: at bottom, a group of figures crowded behind barbed wire fence beside an American flag, with the mirrored text "1942 STABLE" below; above, a horse and rider in motion amid swirling dark washes; at top, a small structure suspended mid-air with a reaching hand. Handwritten text visible at center.
Intaglio print in black and gray tones; a tall, thin vertical form bisects the composition, with a cartoon-like figure emerging from a rectangular frame at left, surrounded by ink splatter, fluid washes, and curving abstract shapes.
