(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, George Joji Miyasaki was a painter and printmaker active in the abstract expressionist movement. He was born in Kalopa, Hawaii and moved to California in 1953.

After teaching at the California College of the Arts and Stanford University, he was appointed a full professor at the University of California, Berkeley in 1964. By 1958, he was experimenting with methods and materials, producing what appeared to be the first color lithographs by a West Coast Abstract Expressionist that were widely shown. In 1960, Willem de Kooning visited Miyasaki's studio to try his hand at lithography. De Kooning, with the help of Miyasaki and Nathan Oliveira, created at least two abstract lithographs.
