White-Line Prints: Toshi Yoshida

Toshi Yoshida's white line prints were produced using an uninked keyblock, where there would normally have been a printed black or gray outline. White line prints originated in 1915 with a group of six artists from Provincetown, Massachusetts. The traditional method of creating a white line print uses a single carved matrix block, which is hand-painted with multiple colors inside each of the outlined sections. It is a process that is very labor-intensive and necessitates small edition sizes. Toshi's white line prints imitated the style of the earlier Provincetown prints, but they were printed using multiple blocks in large, unlimited editions.
