BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Yayoi dreamed of becoming an artist but her parents wanted her to marry a rich man and become a housewife. They threw away her canvases. When she was 10, she had a vision of a field of talking flowers that looked like little dots going on forever. This vision influenced Yayoi's art for the rest of her life. At one point, she moved into a psychiatric hospital. Would she ever get the recognition that she desired?
Yayoi Kusama is very interesting and shows the challenges that face anyone wishing to become a famous artist. It was fun learning about the artist that covered the world in dots starting with paintings, sculptures, infinity rooms, and other creations.
