Description: Ray Yoshida (1930-2009) taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for 40 years, where, with his students -- among them, Jim Nutt, Philip Hanson and Christina Ramberg -- he fostered a scene of artists that would become known as the Chicago Imagists. 'Touch and Go' is the first book to comprehensively examine Yoshida's work in relation to his life in an educational institution, both as a student and a teacher.
