The granddaughter and daughter of women artists, Ayomi Yoshida introduces us to the extraordinary life and career of her mother, Chizuko Yoshida (born 1924). One of the most innovative print artists working in Japan during the second half of the 20th century, Chizuko Yoshida constantly experimented with new forms and ideas, embracing abstraction, surrealism, and naturalism. Lecture delivered April 4, 2015, at the Portland Art Museum, in conjunction with the exhibition "Breaking Barriers: Japanese Women Print Artists 1950–2000," on view through April 12, 2015. Lecture sponsored by the Museum's Asian Art Council.
