Artist suffering from mental illness - yayoi kusama

A great artist was not killed in the first place by a great deal of hallucination, and therefore frequent suicide attempts. She kept the pencil drawings she had made for her mother, which were already full of dots. When I was young, I studied at the Matsumoto girls' school in nagano prefecture, Japan. After graduation, I majored in Japanese painting at the Kyoto city arts and crafts school (now known as Kyoto city tongtuo arts and crafts college).


This is yayoi kusama, known as Japan's living classic artist, was born in Matsumoto, nagano prefecture, Japan, moved to New York City, the United States in 1956, and began to show her leading position in the avant-garde art creation, now living in Tokyo, Japan. She e has collaborated with prominent contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Jasper Johns.
 
In 1954, kusama had the following expression in his painting D.S.P.S. : "one day I looked at the pattern on the red tablecloth and began to look around for the same pattern, from the ceiling, the Windows, the walls, all the corners of the room, and finally my body, the universe. In the process of searching, I felt myself obliterated, constantly whirled by the infinite sense of time and absolute space, and I became small and insignificant. In a flash, I realized that it was not just my imagination, but the reality of the situation, and I was frightened. I felt a terrible fear of the red tablecloth and the pattern on it. I thought it was like a spell, and it was robbing me of my life.
 
In 1957, he moved to the United States and spent most of his time in New York City, where he began to be known as the "queen of the avant-garde". Kusama stayed out of the public eye after returning to Japan from New York in 1973. Little is known about her life, and the only clue is long-term psychiatric treatment. The nursing home took good care of the 80-year-old man. Kusama is in excellent health, but he is no longer very good at drawing and often needs help from assistants. After her assistants finished the time-consuming and exhausting work of painting, she used her own special dots to express different hallucinations and dreams.
 
In a studio near the nursing home, she created thousands of works, including giant pumpkins. She has also published more than a dozen novels and poetry collections. Recently, kusama finally bought a building next door to the nursing home. It was the biggest expense of her life, she said, but it was crucial: "I painted there and designed sculptures. That's my job. That's all I have."



In the sanatorium, yayoi kusama has a private bedroom. Even late at night, after coming back from the studio, she could still work there. Write a novel, write a poem, draw a design or some small drawings. On weekdays, she would call her agent and drone on about the day before, the latest development of a piece, even her favorite dessert -- she had a sweet tooth. Even when he's in good spirits, kusama often forgets what he said or repeats what he already said, and the person is so used to it that the call lasts a little longer.

Yayoi kusama has been paying attention to the newspaper that made him famous more than 40 years ago. She reads the newspaper carefully every day, often starting with the political section, a habit she has kept for decades. "It's hard to live in Japan, except in a mental home." "Yayoi kusama said in an interview many years ago. Yayoi kusama, a former schizophrenic, would lie in bed feeling the ceiling whirling, so strong that he felt dizzy, unable to control himself, and would become depressed and anxious. Now, when she is alone, she still has the same problems. In fact, several decades ago, it was suggested that yayoi kusama was using his own spiritual issues as a publicity stunt. To this day, her mental state is still unknown, the only certainty is that she is still living in a psychiatric home.



A decade ago, yayoi kusama was featured as an art star at the Taipei gallery fair. Accompanied by her agent, she agreed to go and bring a "pumpkin" several meters high and covering dozens of square meters to the scene. This is the closest she has ever come to a Chinese fan. Because of the language barrier, yayoi kusama was taciturated at the fair and the reception, and the opening speech was also delivered by the agent. The media pointed out that agents, assistants and others were like cotton stuffing around yayoi kusama's fragile glass and helping her with everything. Kusama, on the other hand, spends most of his time resting and creating in a psychiatric sanatorium, moving between being an artist and being a psychopath.

"Yayoi kusama made a hole in some wall to see a gesture or a shadow of her creator, and from then on she lived on the wall, looking back and forth between the two worlds." "Says tsai in a blog post entitled" artist yayoi kusama who volunteered to live in a psychiatric sanatorium ". In 1993, yayoi kusama alone represented Japan in the Venice biennale. The Japanese government set up a theme pavilion dedicated to her in honor of the avant-garde queen, thus reestablishing kusama's artistic status both at home and abroad. After decades of living in a mental health home, yayoi kusama's rebellion has been polished off. Her works have returned to ease-mounted paintings and sculptures, and her polka-dotted pumpkin series has become a classic. At the same time, yayoi kusama also spread her dots on the design products, mobile phones designed for AU are selling well, and the "queen of the avant-garde" in New York in the past is still leading the fashion.



Whether you know yayoi kusama or not, you can tell right away when you see her work that she is from Japan. It has nothing to do with ideology, but with integrating the intimacy of Japanese folk culture with modern society. Endless dots are her logo, always repeating, always in style.
