The artwork titled “Meditation” was created by the artist Kiyoshi Saito and is associated with the Sōsaku hanga art movement. This piece falls within the figurative genre, highlighting the artist’s interpretation and representation of the human form in a meditative state.
The artwork depicts three abstract human figures, characterized by their elongated, stylized forms and minimalist facial features. The figures are rendered in dark, muted tones of black and gray, contrasting sharply with the lighter background. The composition emphasizes a sense of calm and introspection, typical of meditation. The absence of detailed features allows for a more symbolic representation, focusing on the theme rather than individual identity. The overall style is reflective of the Sōsaku hanga movement, which emphasizes originality and the artist’s personal expression.
