Composition No. 2: Character

Composition No. 2: Character, a woodblock print by Onchi Koshiro, is divided by a bold black vertical line into two halves on a grey ground. The upper portion shows overlapping thin outlined polygon shapes with the word "Poème" lettered across a tilted rectangle, while the lower portion contains a curved mustard-yellow biomorphic form resembling a saddle or seat shape. The palette is limited to grey, black, mustard yellow, and a small patch of rust orange, giving the composition a flat, abstract, quiet quality.
