This abstract woodcut print (double oban) was created in 1968 by Toshi Yoshida. It is signed, numbered (37/200) and titled in pencil by the artist. The image measures 19 1/2 x 14 1/8 with the paper being 21 3/4 x 16. The print is in fine condition with water-based tape at the corner margins – there is no toning or foxing. At an early age he absorbed the techniques of old-style woodblock printing from the artisans in his father’s studio. The death of Hiroshi in 1950 marked Toshi’s total (but not permanent) break from his past and naturalism. In 1953, Toshi traveled to the United States, Mexico, London and the near East. He made presentations in thirty museums and galleries in eighteen states. From 1954 to 1973, Toshi made three hundred nonobjective prints. Toshis work is included in the collections of Sydney Museum, Australia; New York Museum of Modern Art; Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Cincinnati Art Museum; Art Institute of Chicago; Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art; MOA Museum, Atami, Japan; British Museum, London; Portland Art Museum; Paris National Library, National Museum of Australia, Canberra; Seattle Museum of Art; Krakow National Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and several others.
