Three Eyes 1950

"Three Eyes" is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kaoru Kawano in 1950. The print depicts three owls, each with a single, large eye, against a dark background. The owls are stylized and simplified, with bold lines and bright colors, reminiscent of the *shin hanga* movement. The owls' eyes are the focal point of the composition, drawing the viewer's attention to the creatures' watchful gaze. The small details, such as the feathers on the owls' bodies, create a sense of depth and texture in the print. Kawano, a prominent figure in the *sosaku hanga* movement, combined traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetic sensibilities in his work.
