#926

Created in 1986, this woodblock print bears the catalog number 926, part of the sequential numbering system Funasaka used to track his prolific output of abstract geometric compositions. By the mid-1980s, Funasaka had been producing numbered works for over two decades, and this print reflects the refined formal vocabulary of his mature period. The composition likely features the hard-edged geometric forms, clean color separations, and precise spatial relationships that define Funasaka's contribution to the sosaku-hanga movement. Unlike the expressive, gestural abstraction favored by many of his contemporaries, Funasaka's work privileges order, clarity, and the mathematical beauty of geometric relationships. The woodblock medium gives these precise forms a material warmth that distinguishes them from similar compositions in silkscreen or lithography.
