Steady Gaze (Two Cats) 1960

"Steady Gaze (Two Cats)" is a woodblock print by Kiyoshi Saito from 1960. The artwork depicts two cats, one black and one white, looking up at a small yellow butterfly in the upper center of the composition. The cats' bodies are simplified to their essential forms, and the blue background is textured with small dots. This minimalist style is characteristic of Saito's woodblock prints, which often feature simplified figures and bold colors. Saito, a renowned artist known for his distinctive style, was born in 1907 and passed away in 1997.
