FRANK OKADA

(1931-2000)

"As a painter, Frank Okada imbued his work with the grace of the vast historic precedent of a highly refined Japanese aesthetic. His brushstrokes could sing of thousands of years of art and still speak the language of the recent 20th century’s art history. A painterly intelligence informed his delicately balanced compositions just as surely as a haiku is ordered by a rigorous discipline and keen observation.

"As a man, even in the most casual of meeting, those same qualities of grace, intelligence, and discipline were readily apparent. Upon knowing Frank more deeply, one became aware that an extreme sense of personal modesty was among his most charming personal traits. He will be missed greatly by his colleagues, peers and students in the art world."
