Minoru Onoda was born in Japanese-occupied Manchuria to a Japanese
family in 1937. Before the outbreak of World War II, they moved to
Himeji in Japan, which remained the artist's residence until his
passing in 2008. Following his artistic education at the Osaka
Institute of Fine Arts and at Osaka School of Art in the 1960s,
Onoda joined the Gutai, Japan's first post-war radical artistic
movement. Gutai challenged what the movement considered a
reactionary understanding to initiate new notions of art, and
redefined the relationships among body, matter, time, and space.
Enchanted by concepts of repetition, Onoda produced panels with
amalgamations of gradually increasing dots with relief, creating
organically growing shapes, progressing to infinite circles and
ultimately moving to a monochrome style in painting. When Gutai
disbanded in 1972, he opted for a conceptual style in which the
proliferating dots disappeared. The Western world has received
Minoru Onoda's art almost exclusively in the Gutai context, for
example in the 2013 exhibition Gutai: Splendid Playground at New
York's Guggenheim Museum. This overdue first-ever monograph on
Minoru Onoda introduces him as an artist in his own right. Apart
from investigating his relations with Gutai, it explores his
creative process with a particular focus on his sketchbooks.
