Kawara, On (1933– ). Japanese painter and Conceptual artist, born at Kariya. He was self-taught as an artist. In the early 1950s he came to prominence with violently satirical paintings and drawings of disjointed human figures and corpses in which he portrayed the predicament of Japan after the Second World War. Later he devised a method by which he duplicated an original painting in a number of variations that he called ‘Original Printed Paintings'. In 1959 he left Japan and after extensive travels settled in New York in 1965. From this time he has devoted himself to Conceptual art, notably with a series of I am Still Alive postcards and telegrams sent to friends and other correspondents.
