Yoshida embraced the newer trends of the 1950s and began experimenting with abstraction. Abstruse, which means obscure, illustrates the ambiguity seen in many of his later pieces. In the lower right corner of the print, a fencelike form emerges under what appears to be a night sky. This captivating piece invites several interpretations, allowing viewers to reflect on Yoshida’s connection to landscape, now expressed in an abstract way. He learned many of his skills from his father, well-known printmaker Yoshida Hiroshi, as well as from his travels to different places around the world. Following his father’s death he moved away from traditional Japanese print styles.Label Type
