Work 413

An abstract composition dominated by an outlined open hand rendered in thin black contour, its fingers filled with irregular green strokes and its palm washed in pale blue. Overlapping the hand is a large yellow oval, a red-orange vertical band, and dense scribbled black cross-hatching, all set against a faint arc and crossing straight lines on an off-white ground; a soft pink smudge appears in the lower right. The palette is limited to green, blue, red-orange, yellow, and pink against white, giving the print a spare, diagrammatic quality. Work 413, Yoshisuke Funasaka, 1975, woodblock print.
