Flaming horse 1964

Tadashi Nakayama's "Flaming Horse" is a print where the process feels really upfront – you can see the layering of colors and shapes, almost like he's building up the image piece by piece. The colors are earthy, with browns and blacks dominating, but then you get these pops of red and yellow that give it that "flaming" energy. It's not just about depicting a horse, but about capturing a feeling, an intensity. Look at the way the horse's body is constructed from all these different shapes. It’s like he’s saying that an image can be put together from simple things, and the white lines add a sense of movement and chaos. It's a bit like Picasso, but with a Japanese twist. Ultimately, "Flaming Horse" reminds me that art doesn't have to be about perfection. It can be messy, intuitive, and still incredibly powerful.
