TOSHI YOSHIDA – THE GROOVY YEARS: 1960s
Following his initial exploration of abstraction in his prints in the 1950s, Toshi Yoshida continued to produce abstract woodblock prints, as well as pursuing the traditional representational work inspired by his father, Hiroshi Yoshida. Our exhibition of his abstract work from the 1960s includes 75 prints, including some extremely large and rare works. Our 1950s Abstract, Eyes on North America and On Safari Exhibitions are still online.
