Harmless Kitty (1994) by Yoshimoto Nara

20


"Harmless Kitty" (1994) is an acrylic painting on canvas from The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo collection. Nara employs soft and well-blended strokes in this piece. The color palette consists of warm and muted tones, while the negative space draws attention to the main subject. The kitty's expression appears calm, characterized by the distinct large eyes typical of Nara's work. Additionally, the kitty is depicted sitting on a duck, suggesting the "harmless" nature referenced in the title.
