Seed No. 57 by Satoru Abe (Located in the Office of Rep. Scott Nishimoto). Born in Honolulu, 1926, Satoru Abe is a graduate of McKinley High School. He left Hawai?i in 1948 to study at the California School of Fine Arts and the Art Students League, New York. Abe returned to Hawai?i in 1950 and met pioneering artist Isami Doi who became a personal inspiration and friend. Abe received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1963. A reflection of this artist's theme centered around "growth"; this painting translates the concept of the "husk of the seed bursting to grow."
