Contemporary Painting


In 1969, Kagle taught on World Campus Afloat, journeying with students to over 19 countries and many ports of call. In each of these stops, Kagle made it a special point to visit the leading artists of that country. In the years since, he has kept in touch with these major artists, collecting and trading works with them. Also, after visiting exhibitions in the US, Japan, China, Africa and Europe, when he finds an exciting new artist, he begins a letter visit and again buys or trades for works of art. This contemporary collection was built primarily through visiting artists' studios, getting to know the artists or through exhibit viewing and creating a letter communication.


Doll Festival, 1968
This important work from a contemporary Japanese master was featured in the September, 1979 article in ArtNews on masters of modern Japanese printmaking. It was purchased from a Kyoto gallery in 1972. It combines a love of the traditional Japanese images from Edo prints with modern color and concepts.

Landscape
This master work by Arakawa is a classic of the latter half of the 20th century. It is a colored silkscreen print completed on a mylared paper, symbolic of the constructed landscape of our technological society. The reflective surface, measured off in grids, brings in the present reality of the world to mix with the structural world created by Arakawa.
