Untitled III 1961

"Untitled III" (1961) is a vibrant woodcut print by Japanese artist Tetsuo Ochikubo (1923-1975). The work features a large red circle, reminiscent of the rising sun, positioned above a dense, abstract form rendered in black and blue. The abstract shapes evoke a sense of energy and dynamism, characteristic of Ochikubo's artistic style. The simplicity of the composition and bold use of color are hallmarks of Japanese woodblock printing, while the abstract forms suggest Ochikubo's embrace of modern artistic trends.
