Toy Box (Departure of the Boat)

Mieko Yoshihara

An extraordinary, large format color woodcut on a heavy sheet of fibrous wove. The artist has carved even the most minute details for this abstract, somewhat surreal print, and displays a technical accuracy coupled with elegant artistic style that suggests a well educated artist - whether in a school or of their own volition.

Thus far, we've found almost nothing on the artist Mieko Yoshihara, though their work is included in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art and has gone at auction. Curators under that name have been mentioned at the Chiba City Museum of Art as well as the Tolushima Modern Art Museum, both in Japan.

We're always on the look out for biographical information on lesser-known artists. If you have information about this artist that you would like to share with the gallery, please call or email us: (707) 546-7352 / artannex@aol.com.
