In 1939, when Yayoi Kusama was about 10 years old, he began to be troubled by a large number of hallucinations and often attempted suicide. She kept the pencil drawings she had drawn for her mother at the time, which were already filled with small circles. In 1954, In his painting work 'Flowers (D.S.P.S)', Cao Jian once expressed the following: One day, I looked at the patterns on the red tablecloth and began to search around for the same patterns, from the ceiling, windows, walls to every corner of the room, and finally my body and universe. In the process of searching, I felt like I was being erased, being constantly rotated by infinite time and absolute sense of space, and becoming small and insignificant. In 1955, I communicated with American female painter Georgia O'Keeffe, And start preparing to go to the United States. In 1957, Ayumi Kusama moved to the United States and spent most of his time creating works in New York City, earning him the title of "avant-garde queen". In the 1960s, he participated in many anti war movements. In 1962, he participated in a seven person exhibition at the Green Gallery in New York City, showcasing soft sculptures by artists including Andy Warhol and Klaus Odenberg. In 1965, Infinity Mirror Room was exhibited in New York, attracting considerable attention for its unique features (white background with red dots, large mirror, artist standing in the center). In 1966, the work "Love Forever" created a visually psychedelic work using a small circular light bulb and a large mirror with infinite reflection in the space, making it a masterpiece of Kazuma. That year, he was invited to participate in the 33rd Venice Biennale. The work is titled 'Narcissus Garden', and the creation of the short film 'Eradicate Yourself' (Eradicate Yourself) in 1968 was awarded a silver medal at the 4th Belgian International Short Film Awards and the 2nd Japan United Shogun Film Festival (アンアーバーーーー Reflection Festival). In 1978, the first novel "Manhattan Attempted Suicide Habitual" was published in Japan (マンハッンンッンンンッンンン). In 1983, the new novel "Christopher's Brothel" (クリストファー Men's Brothel) won the 10th Wild Age New Literature Award in Japan. (This book was translated into Chinese in 1999 and published by Crown Publishing House, ISBN: 9573316374) In 1993, he represented Japan at the Venice Biennale. In 1998, participated in the Taipei Biennale. The collection of works by Yasushi Kusama, published in 1998, includes her contemporary art works from 1958 to 1968. In 1951, her youth painting "Zanmu" was selected for the Japan Second Creative Award. In 2000, he participated in the snow pear 2000 Biennale in Australia. The work is "Infinite Mirror House" from 1965 (this work was copied using the same material in 1998, but the original work has been damaged. The entire space of the work is 250 x 500 x 500 centimeters). In 2001, he won the Asahi Prize from Japan. In 2002, Yasushi Kusama published his autobiography "The Infinite Web". In 2003, a long-term retrospective tour was held in Japan and the United States. She was awarded the Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. Today, she lives in a psychotherapy center in Tokyo and continues to engage in artistic creation at the age of over 70. Her studio is not far from the treatment center. She often told the media, "If it weren't for art, I would have committed suicide early on Her studio, as well as Ota Fine Arts, which has long represented her works, collaborated with Sotheby's to plan a unique exhibition of her works, titled "Yayoshi Asama - Flowers Blooming in My Heart for Hong Kong". The exhibition will be held from May 19 to 31, 2012 at the Sotheby's Art Space in Hong Kong. From December 15, 2013 to March 30, 2014, the "My Dream" Asia Tour of Yasushi Kusama was held at the Shanghai Contemporary Art Museum. [2] On September 25, 2014, at the first West Coast Art and Design Expo held in Shanghai, more than 20 copies of Yasushi Kusama's works were exhibited. [3] On October 31, 2021 local time, in Tel Aviv, Israel, the media preview of the retrospective exhibition of Yasukuni Asama was held. Yasukuni Asama's creations were classified by critics into a considerable number of artistic genres, including feminism, minimalism, surrealism, native art (en: Art Brut), popular art, and abstract expressionism. But in the description of herself by Cao Jian, she is only a "psychiatric artist". From her works, it can be seen that what she attempts to present is an autobiographical, psychological, and sexual oriented content; The creative techniques used by Cao Jian include painting, soft sculpture, action art, and installation art. Kusama developed her own characteristics during a relatively early creative period, using high contrast dot patterns and mirrors to extensively cover various surfaces, such as walls, floors, canvases, household items (as well as naked assistants). Her own dress often has a high homogeneity with the works, and is famous for her blouse and very strong eye shadow makeup. Kusama once explained that these visual features stem from her hallucinations, and she believed that these dots formed an infinite net, representing her life. [4] In addition, Kusama has also developed her own unique "breeding" characteristics, and many of her works appear in the form of mushrooms gathering together. After the 1990s, Caoyama joined the field of commercial art and collaborated with the fashion design community to launch clothing with a strong dot Caoyama style, and began selling many art products. [5] Kusama is also considered one of the contemporary Japanese writers. Since her return to Japan and settlement in 1978, she has successively published over 10 books, including autobiographies. In addition to the several important novels mentioned in my previous life, they also include "The Burning of St. Mark's Church" (1985), "Between Heaven and Earth" (1988), "The Arched Chandelier" (1989), "The Double Suicide of Sakura Tomb" (1989), "So Worry" (poetry collection, 1989), "The Angel of Cape Cod" (1990), "The Groundnut in Central Park" (1991), "Lost in the Marsh" (1992) The New York Story "(1993)," Ant's Psychiatric Hospital "(1993)," Jin's Coercion "(1998)," New York in 1969 "(1998) [4]
