Simon’s Reviews > Japanese Art After 1945: Scream Against the Sky > Status Update

just learned about how provocative Yayoi Kusama's early work was, right down to her appearing in public orgies as part of performance art projects, and this was in the mid-1960's

This is full of interesting information about modern Japanese art I've never encountered before. For example I learned about a lot of explicitly left-wing popular art movements in the interwar era that were suppressed brutally by the Japanese authorities in the 1930's, and the Gutai movement who were the most important and influential art movement in Japan just after the war, basically an Asian equivalent to Fluxus.
