Chizuko Yoshida: A Vibrant Legacy
145 West 58th St, Ste 6D, NYC

After visiting the Portland Art Museum in Oregon this past October to attend an insightful symposium related to YOSHIDA CHIZUKO, the first major retrospective exhibition devoted to the work of the pioneering artist Chizuko Yoshida (1924-2017), Scholten Japanese Art was inspired to expand their offerings of her work at the gallery.  It took some time to make the arrangements, but they’re delighted to share that a new shipment of works from the Yoshida Family Collection has arrived and is now available on their website.

Included in the new group are impressions of several prints that were seen on view in the Portland exhibition—with examples from various phases of the artist’s life and work.  Several are quite large and lavishly embellished with glowing mica.  Particularly significant is an impression of Baroque Yellow Wall in Szentendre from 1997 poignantly dedicated to her husband Hodaka Yoshida who had passed away unexpectedly in 1995, which references his affinity for images of highly-textured walls; and one impression of Rondo from 2005, Chizuko’s very last print.
