Description

Forme No. 15 Things Moving is a nonrepresentational composition dominated by a curving cobalt-blue biomorphic shape set against overlapping ochre, cream, and brown patches suggestive of soft, mottled clouds. Thin black lines cut across the picture plane at varying angles, dividing the surface into irregular geometric sections. Onchi Koshiro created this abstract woodblock print; the year is unrecorded.
