Description
The title signals one of Ono's more abstractly expressive works, where the subject shifts away from identifiable urban or natural scenery toward gestural energy and implied movement. During the 1960s Ono experimented with more kinetic compositions alongside his observational city scenes, exploring how the woodblock medium — with its inherent resistance and texture — could convey physical force and spontaneous action through controlled, deliberate carving.
