The Momentous Mutations of Kazumasa Nagai

"The universe and mankind both have a uniform order that I express". Kazugama Nagai

For over forty years Kazumasa Nagai has communicated his poetic message 

of harmony between man and nature through artworks that are refreshingly diverse 

but remain consistently elegant, striking and essential. Nagai (b. 1929), always 

an experimenter, has periodically startled the artworld with the dramatic evolutions 

of his style, from rational abstractions to realistic illustration to computer art to patterns

 to stylized natural forms and more. Japanese graphic master Tadanori Yokoo defined

 these changes as "the Momentous Mutations of Kazumasa Nagai". Nagai's works have been

 featured in many environmental campaigns, received international awards and are found

 in collections including the MoMA and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokio.
