Horse (C) 1960

This woodblock print, *Horse (C)*, was created by Urushibara Mokuchū in 1960. The image depicts a white horse, rendered in stark black and white against a muted gray background. The horse's body is outlined in bold black lines with subtle shading, while its tail and mane are rendered with looser brushstrokes. Mokuchū's minimalist style evokes the elegance and power of the animal. The artwork, part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a striking example of Japanese woodblock printing, a tradition that has flourished for centuries.
