1953
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1953 ink by Koshiro Onchi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows loose, wavy lines in brown, gray, and black on a light background. One corner has a thick, dark shape that looks like a blob with a tail. The lines twist and overlap in a messy, uneven way. The artist used a simple tool—just a block of wood and carving—to make this print. The rough edges and uneven ink show how the woodcut technique works. Look up woodcut to see how artists carve into wood to print images.
Kōshirō Onchi (恩地 孝四郎, 2 July 1891 – 3 June 1955), who is also known as Onchi Kōshirō was Tokyo-born Japanese artist who is best known for his prints.
