Via Arte

A humpback whale plunges diagonally downward against a black, star-flecked ground, its body patterned overall with an ornate floral and vine motif in gold, orange, and pink. Pale blue waves rendered as stylized curling lines fan out behind and around the whale's tail and flippers, and a yellow speech-bubble beside its head reads "VIVA ARTE VIVA!" *Via Arte*, a 2017 woodblock print by Yuki Ideguchi, pairs this bright patterned surface with the dark background for a high-contrast effect.
