| A modernist painter, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, known as “Yas”, combined in his
figures, animals and still life elements of 19th-century folk art,
Japanese motif, and modernist European and American art with a
whimsical approach of his own. His work had precise
draftsmanship, symbolism, decorative imagery, and he took real-world
themes and injected them with fantasy and a tone of moodiness.
Some of his work was decorative such as the Art-Deco motif wall
paintings he did for the women's (showing 500 of 8197 characters). |
