Description
This 1925 print of unknown title offers a compositional study from Yoshida's prolific early career in woodblock — a year in which he was experimenting with the medium's possibilities following his established reputation as an oil painter and watercolorist. The precise subject is unrecorded, but the date places it among his early explorations of European and North American scenery during his 1925 Western tour. The unidentified subject becomes a kind of open frame: a Yoshida composition from a pivotal year, the qualities of his mature style beginning to crystallize.
