Dedicating himself tirelessly to the pursuit of artmaking for its own sake, Minol Araki emerged from the postwar era as the first truly modern literati figure. His unique Chinese and Japanese background that formed his personal history also informed his artistry, creating a fresh and exciting synthesis of influences and styles. As “an artist between worlds,” he drew inspiration from classical ink painting and Western abstract art movements. He was the subject of two major retrospective exhibitions in the US, at the Phoenix Art Museum and the Minneapolis Institute of Art in. Book length catalogs were published in connection with both. Minol Araki’s work can be found in the collections of more than twenty museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; and the Yale University Art Gallery.
