Untitled work by Shiko Munakata

A black-and-white lithograph on cream paper composed of loosely scattered organic forms: several textured, seed-studded ovoid shapes rendered in stippled black, two open outlined ovals left blank, and a pair of interlocking curved loop shapes at center resembling ribbon or rope. In the upper right and lower right sit denser solid-black clustered and lozenge-shaped masses, while a checkered black-and-white bar appears at lower right and a small grid of black dots at lower left; loose hatching and scribbled lines fill the surrounding space. A red seal and the artist's pencil signature appear at the bottom center-right; the piece is untitled, by Shiko Munakata, year unknown.
