Artwork Title: Girl and Flowers (少女と花) Artist: Ido Masao (飯堂昌雄，1945) Technique: Woodblock Print Artist’s Marking: Pencil signature and seal on the print Paper Size: 15 × 21 cm (5.9 × 8.3 in) Frame Size: 25.5 × 30.5 × 1.5 cm (10.0 × 12.0 × 0.6 in) Paper Material: Washi (和紙) This exquisite woodblock print was created around the 1980s by Ido Masao (飯堂昌雄), a renowned modern and contemporary Japanese woodblock artist. He excels at employing the color-blocking technique of woodblock printing, featuring rich color layers, soft tones and smooth, delicate lines. Centered on abstracted figures and plants, this work is paired with Japanese katakana characters (カタカナ) in the background (with no specific semantic meaning, focusing on formal decoration). It integrates the emotional intensity of Expressionism with the formal aesthetics of Decorative Art as a whole; through exaggerated shapes, strong black-and-white contrast and the interspersion of character elements, it weakens figurative narration and enhances the visual rhythm of the picture. The artist’s pencil signature and seal are affixed at the bottom of the work. This print comes with a frame and an acrylic panel. The frame shows signs of wear including dents, scratches and paint peeling. Due to age, the print paper exhibits natural aging marks such as oxidation-induced yellowing and mold spots. - The picture is part of the description.
