Female Body

An abstract, symmetrical composition on a solid pink ground, built from concentric spirals and eye-like or petal-like forms in blue, orange-red, green, and gold outlined in white. A large central spiral with a red core sits between two smaller side spirals, above three flame- or leaf-shaped forms and a vertical striated form flanked by two curved hand-like or wing-like shapes at the bottom; scattered small dots in pink, white, and blue fill the surrounding negative space. The work is signed "yayanagi -65" in blue at lower right. Go Yayanagi, "Female Body," 1965, oil on panel.
