Germinate

An abstract composition of overlapping geometric and organic shapes in pale blue-gray, charcoal black, and stone gray, set against a mottled gray ground with visible woodgrain texture. A pale, cracked oval form sits at the center, holding a small salmon-orange bird-like shape, while a thin dark diagonal line cuts across the upper portion of the composition. "Germinate," Gen Yamaguchi, 1959; color woodblock print, edition 3/50.
