Yasuo Kuniyoshi

Lady Slipper
1924

A surreal black and white drawing featuring a blend of organic shapes and natural elements, with a prominent yellow-toned, bulbous flower-like form at the center, surrounded by flowing lines and foliage-like details. The composition has a dreamlike quality with a soft background and a sense of movement.
