Cockatoo and pomegranate 1925 - 1936

"Cockatoo and Pomegranate" is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Ohara Koson between 1925 and 1936. The print depicts a white cockatoo perched on a branch with a large, ripe pomegranate. Koson's signature style is evident in the meticulous detail and vibrant colors. The bird's plumage is rendered with delicate strokes, capturing the texture of its feathers. The pomegranate's rich red hue contrasts beautifully with the black background, creating a striking visual composition. This piece exemplifies Koson's mastery of the woodblock medium, showcasing his ability to bring natural subjects to life with both precision and artistic expression.
