Collections: Art Institute of Chicago, Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture, Minneapolis Institute of Art, University of California Merced, University of Oregon (The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints). ABOUT THIS WORK Woman in Bagdad belongs to an important group of figure studies Yoshida created in 1954 as he moved beyond the naturalistic landscape tradition associated with his father, Hiroshi Yoshida. The veiled figure is reduced to broad, interlocking shapes of deep brown, ochre, and blue-green, separated by narrow carved white lines. Yoshida appears to have printed the composition from a single block, applying individual colors to separately defined areas—a technique closely related to the white-line color woodcut developed by B. J. O. Nordfeldt and the Provincetown Printers and refined by Blanche Lazzell. The continuous white channels serve as both boundaries between colors and an active linear structure, transforming the figure into a near-abstract arrangement of flattened forms while retaining its human presence. Created at a pivotal moment in Yoshida's development, the print anticipates the increasingly nonobjective woodcuts that occupied him during the following two decades. ABOUT THE ARTIST Yoshida Toshi (1911–1995) began training at the age of fourteen under his father, Yoshida Hiroshi, a leading artist of the twentieth-century Japanese printmaking revival known as shin-hanga (“new prints”), which continued the traditional collaborative system of Japanese woodblock printing. From 1932 to 1935, Toshi studied at the Taiheiyo-Gakai (Pacific Painting Association), which his father had helped establish. Before the Pacific War, Toshi traveled extensively with his father in Asia, Europe, Egypt, and the United States. He later continued his international travels, particularly in Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Africa. His early prints remained strongly influenced by Hiroshi's work and the highly refined techniques practiced in the Yoshida studio. Following his father's death in 1950, Toshi assumed responsibility for the studio while increasingly pursuing an independent artistic direction. Beginning in the early 1950s, he undertook a highly personal exploration of abstraction, creating and printing his own works in the sōsaku-hanga (“creative print”) manner, in which the artist assumes direct responsibility for the design, carving, and printing. During this exceptionally productive period, Toshi produced a large body of nonobjective woodcuts characterized by complex geometric structures, richly layered color, and experimentation with the expressive possibilities of the woodblock medium. His abstract work placed him among the more adventurous Japanese printmakers of the postwar period. The British Museum holds a substantial group of these works, including Misty Dance (1957), Frontier (1962), Mystery (1964), Isotope (1968), and Where (1972). In the early 1960s, Toshi also returned to representational subjects, eventually concentrating on large-scale scenes of African wildlife in its natural habitat. In 1984 he published the first of a series of illustrated children's books devoted to African animals (Dōbutsu Ehon Shirīzu), which he continued into the early 1990s. In 1966, with artist Yuki Rei...

Antique Windmill Landscape Beside a Lake with Figures and Dramatic Sky
Antique Windmill Landscape Beside a Lake with Figures and Dramatic Sky

Antique Windmill Landscape Beside a Lake with Figures and Dramatic Sky

By English School

Located in GB

Set above the edge of a lake or broad river, a wooden windmill dominates this atmospheric landscape. Its sails stretch into an immense grey sky, while a narrow flight of steps leads up to the mill from the grassy bank. Two small figures stand nearby, their presence giving a sense of scale to the structure and a glimpse of life in the surrounding countryside. In the foreground, rocks descend toward the dark water, drawing the eye through the scene before it rises again to the windmill. The painter makes striking use of light and contrast. The mill’s warm timber stands out against the cool, clouded sky, and a patch of brightness on the bank brings colour to an otherwise subdued landscape. The composition feels expansive despite its intimate details: the distant horizon opens the view, while the steps, figures and carefully described wooden supports encourage a closer look. There is a quiet tension in the weather, as though the scene has been captured just before the clouds break. Windmill paintings...

Visual art is among the oldest forms of expression, and it has been evolving for centuries. Beautiful objects can provide a window to the past or insight into our current time. Art collecting enhances daily life through the presence of meaningful work. It displays an appreciation for culture, whether a print by Elizabeth Catlett channeling social change or a narrative quilt by Faith Ringgold.

Contemporary art has lured more initiates to collecting than almost any other category, with notable artists including Yayoi Kusama, Marc Chagall, Kehinde Wiley and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Navigating the waiting lists for the next Marlene Dumas, Jeff Koons or Jasper Johns has become competitive.

When you’re living with art, particularly as people more often work from home and enjoy their spaces, it’s important to choose art that resonates with you. While the richness of art with its many movements, styles and histories can be overwhelming, the key is to identify what is appealing and inspiring. Artwork can play with the surrounding color of a room, creating a layered approach. The dynamic shapes and sizes of sculptures can set different moods, such as a bronze by Miguel Guía on a mantel or an Alexander Calder mobile suspended over a table. A wall of art can evoke emotions in an interior while showing off your tastes and interests. A salon-style wall mixing eclectic pieces like landscape paintings with charcoal drawings is a unique way to transform a space and show off a collection.

For art meditating on the subconscious, investigate Surrealists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí. Explore Pop art and its leading artists such as Andy Warhol, Rosalyn Drexler and Keith Haring for bright and bold colors. Not only did these artists question art itself, but also how we perceive society. Similarly, 20th-century photography and abstract painting reconsidered the intent of art.

Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner and Color Field artists including Sam Gilliam broke from conventional ideas of painting, while Op artists such as Yaacov Agam embraced visual trickery and kinetic movement. Novel visuals are also integral to contemporary work influenced by street art, such as sculptures and prints by KAWS.

Realist portraiture is a global tradition reflecting on what makes us human. This is reflected in the work of Slim Aarons, an American photographer whose images are at once candid and polished and appeared in Holiday magazine and elsewhere. Innovative artists Mickalene Thomas and Kerry James Marshall are now offering new perspectives on the form.

Collecting art is a rewarding, lifelong pursuit that can help connect you with the creative ways historic, modern and contemporary artists have engaged with the world. For more tips on piecing together an art collection, see our guide to buying and displaying art.
