Original Minoru Kawashima (1910 - 1980) Japanese Woodblock Print
Stallion

Comments - Terrific modern sosaku hanga print by Minoru Kawashima of several stallions, their bodies rendered in striking abstract patterns of swirling lines in black, gray, tan, and blue. The waving manes and tails are printed in a metallic silver pigment, the subtle shimmer adding to the sense of movement. The dark red background features a delicate cross-hatched design in black, creating a beautiful textured surface. A striking, large-format design that would make an impressive framed display. Signed Minoru Kawashima, titled in English, and numbered 19/100 in red pencil in bottom margin, with artist's orange seal in subject.

Artist - Minoru Kawashima (1910 - 1980)
Image Size - 22" x 15 7/8" + margins as shown
Condition - With excellent color and detail. Some light wrinkling or soiling in margins, not serious. A light crease across upper left corner. Please see photos for details. Nice overall.
