Milking the Cow 1927

"Milking the Cow" is a 1927 lithograph by the Japanese-American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889-1953). The artwork depicts a stylized cow being milked by a figure whose head is the only visible part. Kuniyoshi is known for his whimsical and expressive use of line and form, which is evident in the simplified yet dynamic forms of the cow and the figure. This artwork is a prime example of Kuniyoshi's distinctive style, which blends elements of Japanese and Western art traditions.
