Description
An abstract composition dominated by angular, faceted planes of burnt orange and slate green stacked at the center, capped by a striped band of maroon vertical lines on a mauve-gray ground. Scattered across the pale gray background are fragmentary printed letterforms and numerals in outline and solid gray, along with a jagged, cracked gray shape at left, all set against a mottled, textured ground with sparse white brushy accents. *Oasis*, a 1968 woodblock print in ink and color on paper by Nagase Yoshio, is signed and dated in pencil at the lower right and inscribed with the title and an edition number at the lower left.
