Ray Yoshida:
Early Works on Paper

March 20 - May 16, 2015
Opening Reception Friday, March 20th, 5:30 - 8:30 PM


A legendary teacher at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Ray Yoshida was the teacher of most of the Chicago Imagists and a full participant in their explosive creativity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The first gallery exhibition of Ray Yoshida's work since his death in 2009, this exhibition focuses on the little known works on paper and collages from the period around 1969-1972. Included are the iconic "robed figure" images, early comic book collages and experimental landscape and figure subjects that reveal both Yoshida's connection to Imagism and his distinct stylistic contributions.

Please contact the gallery for additional images.

Tuesday - Wednesday by appointment; Thursday - Saturday, 10:00 - 5:30
