The artwork titled “Mt. Holly Cross” was created by Toshi Yoshida in 1966. It is part of the Sōsaku hanga art movement and depicts a landscape.
The artwork presents a majestic mountainous scene characterized by the serene and commanding presence of Mt. Holly Cross in Vail, Colorado. The foreground is adorned with an abundant meadow of vibrant wildflowers in purple, pink, and yellow hues, unmistakably indicating the freshness of spring or early summer. Tall, silhouetted conifer trees stand prominently, leading the viewer’s eyes towards the imposing mountain range with snow-streaked peaks under a softly swirled sky. The composition captures a harmonious balance of nature’s vivid colors and grand scales, inviting contemplation and admiration.
