Yayoi Kusama has been one of the greatest conceptual artist of the modern era. Her works revealed a clear visual regard for feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, while exploring the sensuality of her life.
She ruled the cool 60s.
Sadly the artist suffered a breakdown in 1977 and committed herself to the Seiwa Hospital for the Mentally Ill, which became her primary home. Accordiing to Wikipedia Kusama has often said, “If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago.”
While I have never achieved success, I know what Kusama is feeling.”
Life gets the better of us.
Ending it seems like a solution.
“There is no now in yesterday.”
