Tomie Ohtake

1913–2015 · Japanese-Brazilian

Tomie Ohtake began painting in São Paulo in her late thirties and developed a long career spanning gestural abstraction, color-field-like painting, printmaking and monumental public sculpture. Her work moves between atmospheric veils of color and sharply defined arcs, folds and curves.
