        "description": "Twentieth-century Japanese printmakers often exploit the\r\ngrain of the woodblock to create striated patterns within\r\nthe work. Saito, like his mentors Edvard Munch and Paul\r\nGauguin before him, incorporated into the image the texture\r\ninherent in the woodblock. Saito reduced form to simple, flat\r\nshapes, achieving abstracted, strong compositions printed in\r\nonly a few muted earth tones.\r\n\r\nSaito was the first modern Japanese printmaker to win an\r\naward abroad at the First Biennial Exhibition of the Modern\r\nArt Museum in Sa\u00f5 Paulo, Brazil, in 1951. This international\r\nrecognition helped to establish the legitimacy of the\r\nsosaku-hanga printmaking movement.",
