Vintage Silkscreen Print "Sleeping Lady" by Mayumi Oda (KuK)

This striking vintage silkscreen print titled "Sleeping Lady" is the work of renowned Japanese artist Mayumi Oda, often referred to as the "Matisse of Japan." Oda's masterful depiction of the female form is gracefully illustrated here in soft, fluid lines. The reclining figure, bathed in earthy, neutral tones, is set against a deep, rich purple background, evoking a sense of calm and serenity as she gazes peacefully upward toward a crescent moon.

Oda's distinctive style combines a celebration of the female body with a minimalist approach, creating a harmonious balance between form and negative space. This piece is signed by the artist in the lower right corner, alongside its edition number, 35/66, indicating it is part of a limited edition.
