1951
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1951 ink by Koshiro Onchi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows big, uneven shapes in brown, gray, and yellow. Thin black lines twist between them like tangled ropes. The background has light blue swirls and a few red marks scattered around. The colors feel rough and uneven, like the paint was scraped or rubbed in. The artist used woodcut, a method where the image is carved into wood and then inked. The texture looks almost like the paper itself is uneven. Next, look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
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.
