Ray Yoshida (1930-2009) Untitled 1970 oil on canvas approximately 30"x24"
This painting is typical of Yoshida's work of the 70's. His imaginative use of abstracted forms he borrowed from comics, illustrations and folk art were combined to make patterned compositions that evoked an ambiguous narrative. While not part of the "Hairy Who" group, he was very influential to them as well as many other artists that passed though SAIC during his tenure there.
