The Prints of Hodaka Yoshida
From the Collection of Margaret and Eugene Skibbe

Folk Prints 1963-66, suggesting a transition, was for Hodaka a time of exploring new printing technologies and new ways of expressing human life power. In 1963 he returned to New York and Central America. In Mexico he was delighted by the colors and patterns of hand-woven fabrics, the stories and way of life of the indigenous people. Much of this appears in prints from this time. Note that 222 Anecdote 1963 points directly to Holiday Mythology 1966, the first print in the next stage.
