WELCOME BACK, FRIENDS !!This is a large, single owner, collection from the Don LeMasters estate.We have the pleasure of bringing this wonderful collection, from Don LeMasters, to market.Close to 250 Japanese woodblock prints !!! It was a pleasure getting to know Don and his family, and as you will see, Don was a passionate collector of all things beautiful and with a deep love of Japanese items, in particular, like the Japanese Woodblocks but also across all cultures of Asian and European Art, as you will see from this over 600 lot of spanning the breath of Don's passions.Donald P. LeMasters served during World War 2 as an Airship Rigger on the Blimp Division in the US Navy. Two weeks after leaving the Navy, he married the Love of his Life, Mamie, and was married for 56 years.After the Navy, Don became a Plastics Engineer for almost 38 years where he earned several Patents while working with David Swedlow. He traveled abroad a couple of times for his company and one of those trips took him to Japan where he instantly fell "in love" with the Japanese culture. So, for many years, both he and his wife collected Asian Art items among other types of Antiquities. Don enjoyed collecting and learning about his collected pieces. His favorite was his "Hasui" Woodblock prints as his work would show more details and every print had an "action" somewhere within the Hasui works of art. As one can see, Don and his wife did not collect a single type of art, subject or artist. But they enjoyed collecting all types, such as the Woodblock Prints, Ceramics, Bronzes, Porcelains, Glass and more. He also felt the Military items collected should be remembered.It was a pleasure to know Don, and we hope you enjoy his wonderful lifelong collection.
