Blue Bird and Red Flower

A stylized bird with a swirling blue-and-white striped body, a curled tail feather, and a green head with a large concentric blue eye and pointed beak fills the upper portion of the composition, its plumage rendered in bold curving stripes with a dark purple wing folded behind. Below it sits a large red flower with layered scalloped petals encircling a blue center and yellow core, set against a lavender ground stippled with small white dots and a pink dotted band across the top; a solid green triangle occupies the lower right corner. This etching, "Blue Bird and Red Flower" by Motoi Oi (date unknown), uses flat, bright color fields and heavy black outlines throughout.
