Still Life with Watermelon 

Yōzō Hamaguchi's "Still Life with Watermelon" is a striking black and white woodblock print depicting a halved watermelon resting on a pedestal, with a knife and three apples in the foreground. The artist's use of dark tones and simplified forms evokes a sense of quietude and contemplation, characteristic of his later works. The delicate texture of the woodgrain adds a subtle layer of depth and complexity to the image, highlighting the craftsmanship inherent in the printing process. This piece showcases Hamaguchi's mastery of this traditional Japanese art form, demonstrating his ability to capture a sense of stillness and beauty in the everyday.
