Tomie Ohtake (November 21 1913 - present) A native of Japan, Tomie Ohtake moved to Brazil in 1936, just prior to the Sino-Japanese War. She married and settled in São Paulo, where she lived a quiet, middle-class life for many years. In her late forties she began painting simple landscapes and scenes; however, within three years, she had moved on to large-scale abstractions and a style completely her own.
