Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity
Sarah Suzuki, Ellen Weinstein
Review
by Angela Crocombe
Yayoi Kusama is one of the most exciting artists working today. Once you have seen one of her dot paintings, books or installations, she is impossible to forget. This picture-book biography follows her life from a young child who saw dots everywhere in nature, growing up in Japan, to moving to New York at the age of 28, struggling to survive until her first exhibition and her eventual success.
As the pages progress, we see more and more dots on each page, perhaps representing Kusama’s success and her fascination with infinity. At the end of the book are pictures of many of Kusama’s most famous paintings and installations. The illustrations by Ellen Weinstein are stunning and well suited to Kusama’s work, with every page showing flourishes of dots and patterns that reflect the art. This is a fascinating introduction to a very accessible contemporary artist that will be enjoyed by children aged 5 to 8 – and art lovers of any age
