Colorful Peas World by Yayoi Kusama

Peas World by Yayoi Kusama
All her life Japanese artist Kusama was involved into anti-war demonstrations and created avant-garde outfits, massive “polka dots” sculptures and painting installations. In addition, participated in laser shows of artworks and body-art festivals. Besides, produced her self-publishing and experimented in the field of cinema.
Born in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, on 22 March 1929, Yayoi Kusama since childhood has suffered from hallucinations and obsessions. She started painting at ten years old, while her fantastic pictures in watercolor, pastel and oil were inspired by her visions. In fact, Yayoi studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Kyoto for only one year (1948). Aged 29, Yayoi Kusama moved to New York. Ambitious and strange Japanese quickly gained a reputation of a leader of avant-garde movement and built a vivid public image. However, her trademark has become pea, even whole fields of peas, walls, floors, canvases, everyday objects and naked assistants – all of peas.
