Typical Price
An evocative abstract seascape, "The Sea" distills oceanic vastness into pure form and color. Onchi's nature abstractions remain among the most important works in 20th-century Japanese printmaking. With editions of only 10-30 impressions, all hand-printed by the artist, this design typically realizes $2,000-$8,000 at auction.
Description
Abstract evocation of the ocean through rhythmic curves and deep blue-green color fields, creating a sense of movement and depth without literal representation.
