What is the significance of the Circle in Jiro Yoshihara's work?
In Yoshihara's work, the circle (Enso) represents a rejection of imitation. It serves as a spiritual and physical exercise, blending Zen philosophy with the avant-garde Gutai principle of 'doing what has never been done before' through a single, powerful gesture of form.
What movement is Jiro Yoshihara associated with?
Jiro Yoshihara was the leader and founder of the Gutai Art Association (Gutai Bijutsu Kyōkai) in 1954. This radical movement emphasized the connection between the artist’s spirit and the material, pre-dating many Western performance and conceptual art movements.
