Isao Mizutani (1922-2005) was a Japanese avant-garde painter who didn’t belong to any art groupe, but closely associated with Gutai. For painting he mainly used mineral paint and glue and gave a great impact to young artists. He also has done murals, illustration for novels and even stage set for avant-garde buto dance theatre. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2005.
