Description
A second untitled woodblock print by Maeda Toshiro, this work joins its companion in the catalog as an unnamed composition. Two untitled works by the same artist raise questions about whether they share a subject or style, or whether the identical non-titles mask entirely different images. Maeda's range as a printmaker, encompassing landscapes, figures, flowers, and still lifes, means these two untitled prints could depict virtually anything within his repertoire. The woodblock medium unites them technically even if their subjects diverge, each print carrying the layered ink and carved-block textures that define Maeda's practice.
