TOSHI YOSHIDA – THE START OF SOMETHING NEW: 1950s
Following the death of his father in 1950, Toshi began exploring abstraction in his prints, as well as pursuing the traditional representational work inspired by Hiroshi Yoshida. Our exhibition of his abstract work from the 1950s includes 50 prints, including some extremely large and rare works. Our Eyes on North America and On Safari Exhibitions are still online.
