From the early 1960s to the early 1970s, Takesada Matsutani (born 1937 in Osaka, based in Paris since 1966) was a key member of the "second generation" of the
Gutai Art Association (1954–1972),
Japan's innovative and influential art collective of the postwar era. Matsutani's paintings and performances from throughout his practice demonstrate the ethos of Gutai, translated into an artistic language that is uniquely his own.
