What an amazing life this Japanese artist has lived! The majority of this biography covers the period when she worked & gained recognition for her unusual art as a young woman in New York City in the mid-20th century. In spite of mental health challenges & the conservative pressures of Japanese society, Kusama has followed her own path to greatness. Clean line multicolour #comics art by Elisa Macellari. #Translation from Italian by Edward Fortes.

Heideschrampf Thanks for the tip! I always loved her art but never really thought about her personal life. This goes onto my xmas wishlist! 4y
charl08 Sounds good, will look for it here. 4y

Kusama: A Graphic Biography | Elisa Macellari

In case you were wondering, this comics format biography is not intended for a younger audience. Kusama‘s “happenings” are documented here, described by the artist as “orgies of nudity, love, sex & beauty for adults over 21.”

LeahBergen I thought these were some new-fangled doctor‘s office robes. 😆😆 4y
Lindy @LeahBergen Kusama spent enough time with doctors. That might have inspired her fashion designs. 😂 4y

Yayoi Kusama has experienced psychotic episodes since childhood. Her mother called her useless and destroyed her artwork. It‘s amazing what Kusama has accomplished.

Referring to herself, Kusama says: “It‘s like driving down an endless highway, and it will be like that as long as I live.” There are no diversions or alternate exits, just a long road built of dedication and determination: painful by moments, but less so than a life without art.

#LiteraryLuck Day 29: Fats reviewed this picturebook biography of a woman who has captured the #Infinite in her art. Accdg to Fats: “This beautifully curated book is an homage to an artist who could not be bound, whose passion is as limitless as her dots, and who, at 89, continues to make awe-inspiring art.” Her full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j8e #WomenReadWomen2019
