Miyoko Ito was an American artist known for her watercolor and abstract oil paintings and prints. Ito was part of an informal group of
like-minded, but visually diverse Chicago painters, self-named the "Allusive Abstractionists" and formed in 1981. The group, which also
included William Conger, Richard Loving and Frank Piatek, was formed to spark dialogue and make space for a wider conception of
abstraction that included more subjective, metaphorical work. Though tangentially involved with the Chicago Imagists, Ito's
own style diverged and synthesized cubism and surrealism.
