Red Fruit

1972

Japanese, 1922 - 2004

Ikeda Shuzo is best known for depicting playful children and their appreciation of nature. He is known to fully employ the texture of wood in his prints, as seen here. Through the image of an innocent girl holding a branch with red fruit for a bird perched on her fingers, Ikeda expresses a child’s tenderness and fascination with nature.
