Untitled (Giant Apple Tree)

1959

Shikō Munakata

Associated Names

Shikō Munakata

Artist, Japanese, 1903 - 1975

The image displays swirling black strokes and dense clusters of curved lines on a pale background. The dark lines resemble fluid movements, and some patches of darker shapes and vertical strokes can be seen throughout the composition. The chaotic interplay of strokes and shapes creates a sense of natural chaos and movement.
