The first US solo exhibition of late Japanese artist Yoshida Chizuko comes to Portland Art Museum - Oregon Public Broadcasting

The Portland Art Museum has opened the first solo U.S. exhibition of late Japanese artist Yoshida Chizuko (1924-2017), featuring over 100 woodblock prints and paintings, many never before displayed publicly. The exhibition, curated by Asian art curator Jeannie Kenmotsu, highlights Yoshida's avant-garde work that pushed the boundaries of painting and printmaking within Japan's male-dominated postwar art world.

Yoshida Chizuko

The Portland Art Museum is hosting the first major museum retrospective of Yoshida Chizuko (1924–2017), a pioneering Japanese modernist painter and printmaker. The exhibition features over 100 works, including early oil paintings, monotypes, woodblock prints, lithographs, and mixed media pieces, many never before exhibited. It traces her career from avant-garde abstraction in the 1940s and 1950s through op art and photoetchings in the 1960s and 1970s to nature-inspired late works, and includes a planned major acquisition from the Yoshida family estate.
