三島剛 Mishima Gō (1924-1988) Original Pen Drawing, Powerful Male Figure, 1970s NW161

三島剛 Mishima Gō (1924-1988)
A charismatic figure who led the gay erotic art of the Showa period, he continued to portray a unique image of the Japanese male child at the dawn of Japanese gay culture. His works express the loneliness and melancholy of individuals and minorities. The Cali Dewitt x Go Mishima "POETRY READING" art exhibition was held in Tokyo from January to February 2022. His work is still attracting attention.

This rare original drawing by Go Mishima (三島剛, 1924–1988) dates from the 1970s and represents a powerful and iconic male figure that exemplifies his mature style. The work is executed in pencil (graphite), not ink; the soft tonal transitions, layered shading, and fine linear texture are characteristic of graphite drawing, and bidders are encouraged to examine the images carefully. The drawing is created on premium French art paper “ARCHES,” an archival-quality paper prized by professional artists for its strength, surface texture, and longevity, further enhancing the artistic and collectible value of the work. Originating from a private collector’s collection, this piece is seldom encountered on the market and offers a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic original drawing from one of the most distinctive visual voices of postwar Japanese art.
