Yayoi Kasuma

This artist is a Great of our time. Once a young woman painting dots on herself, a horse, circling. The ultimate of femininity. She removed herself from society. She now lives in a mental health facility; and there she creates her art. It is incredible. You can look her up. — A few years back, I saw her work showcased on the morning news. They had deep concern of her smile. And that is how it is. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow SMILE SISTER SMILE….Fat Chance

Cosmic Infinity

k4Although largely forgotten after departing the New York art scene in the early 1970s, Kusama is now acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde.

Her current show is Infinity Mirrors and it is breathtaking.

My jaw dropped. I am perpetually surprised at the weird world that I live in.
