Typical Price
Onchi's 1950 "Face" belongs to his late-career portrait explorations, blending figurative likeness with abstract sensibility. Every impression was hand-printed by the artist in editions of 10-30. Late works from the 1950s are particularly scarce since Onchi died in 1955. Expect $2,500-$10,000 for authenticated impressions.
Description
A semi-abstract portrait reduced to essential geometric forms — circles, arcs, and planes — that nonetheless convey a powerful sense of human presence and expression.
