Tadashige Ono
Tadashige Ono (小野 忠重 Ono Tadashige, January 19, 1909, Tokyo – October 17, 1990) was a Japanese woodblock print artist prominent in the sōsaku hanga movement in twentieth century Japan.
Style and technique
Ono's early prints (prior to World War II), were deeply rooted in the social-critical movement of German expressionism and the art trend dominating in Russia and among critical, intellectual circles in China Lu Xun.
Later prints saw a lessened proletarian engagement, but the artist's interest in cityscapes, and the newly industrialised face of Japan remained constant throughout his career.
