Queen of Polka-Dots.

Why the Japaneses are Awesome NUMERO DEUX.
- Yayoi Kusama
//
Yayoi Kusama is one of the most intriguin artists of our time - at least thats what I believe her as. Although she suffers from mental illness, she has made the absolute best of her situation. It's ironically her hallucinations that bring about the inspiration for her art.. which are FANTASTIC representaions of polka dots!

She lives in japan in a mentasl institution by choice and travels evereyday to her art studio just down the street. She is known for often saying "If it were not for art, I would have killed myself long time ago."
You can tell from the photographs above, of how amazing she is.

When she was in New York in the 60s up against Andy Warhol, she kept track of how many publications were written about her in the newspaper compared to him. She exceeded his popularity by far, at least at the time. Known for her 'penis-chair', body painting festivals, fashion shows, anti-war demonstrations and nude public citings. AND I CAN SEE WHY! I urge you to check out her art online because it goes above and beyond what this post shows......
When I grow up, I want to be YAYOIIII!!!!!!
Well, at least amazing like her hahah
