Fakirs 1951

"Fakirs" is an oil painting by Yasuo Kuniyoshi from 1951. It depicts two figures, one in red and one in blue, against a vibrant background of abstract shapes and colors, likely representing tents and the sky. The figures are stylized with flattened planes and bold outlines, creating a sense of theatricality and a surrealist feel. Kuniyoshi’s works are known for their unique blend of realism and abstraction, influenced by his Japanese heritage and his time spent in the United States.
