Untitled 1961

Atsuko Tanaka's 1961 "Untitled" is a striking black and white abstract work. The piece features a dense field of black circles and gestural lines, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The artist's signature, written in Japanese, is visible in the lower right corner, adding a personal touch to the minimalist composition. Tanaka, a prominent figure in the Gutai art movement, was known for her exploration of expressive mark-making and spontaneous gestures, which are reflected in the dynamic interplay of forms and lines in this work.
