Horse (D) 1960

"Horse (D)" is a 1960 woodblock print by Japanese artist Urushibara Mokuchū. The simplified, stylized form of the horse captures the essence of its movement and energy, characteristic of Mokuchū's artistic style. The minimalist composition on a light gray background focuses on the horse’s powerful pose, accentuated by bold black lines. The artist's signature and a red seal add to the print's authenticity and provide insight into the traditional Japanese art-making process. This print, measuring 14 x 10 inches, is a compelling example of Japanese woodblock art and can be found at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
