Poem No. 6: Image de la Mer 1948

"Poem No. 6: Image de la Mer" (1948) by Koshiro Onchi is a vibrant example of Japanese woodblock printing. The abstract composition features simplified shapes, such as a large blue form reminiscent of water and a black shape with a pink shell that appears to be rising from the sea. The artist uses bold colors and a subtle layering technique to create a sense of depth and movement. This work, which is one of a series of "poems" that explore themes of nature, is an excellent example of Onchi’s artistic exploration of abstraction and the beauty of the natural world.
