Abstract

A solitary standing female nude figure, rendered in bold black woodblock strokes against jagged vertical white and cream shapes suggesting an abstracted architectural or natural setting. The high-contrast composition uses only black ink on cream paper, with the figure's form built from angular, faceted planes rather than smooth curves; the print is numbered 125/150 and signed and dated 1975 in pencil below the image. This 1975 woodblock print by Yoshisuke Funasaka, titled "Abstract," conveys a stark, contemplative mood through its stripped-down palette and fractured geometry.
