To celebrate its one-year anniversary, Hong Kong’s museum of visual culture has organised the exhibition Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now. In the largest retrospective of the artist’s work in Asia outside Japan, Kusama’s pumpkins, polka dots and mirrored spaces are just the tip of the iceberg. The museum’s first Special Exhibition features more than 200 works by the 93-year-old Japanese artist, including three site-specific artworks that debute on the November 12 birthday of M+. The Post sat down with the co-curators, M+’s Doryun Chong and independent curator Mika Yoshitake, to talk about the artist and the unique exhibition.

Abstract art is no art, it’s interpreted as art by people who imagine too far, there is no emotion in that art if there is no effort in it!

[@johnehrhardt02]

Emotion can be found in patterns and colour, if you can't see that you're blind to the world.

[@courtly5982]

@@johnehrhardt02 patterns and colors that actually are somehow emotional takes time to represent, random patterns only gives us the emotion of stupidity and those who think that abstract art is really art are a bunch of charlatans

[@gamingshots9938]

A photographer can take pictures but a painting with just a photograph is not a painting but a replica and a art is imagination

[@courtly5982]

@@gamingshots9938 no, art expressions emotion because the artist has passion and left blood and sweat to create a work, some artists argue that when photography started existing there was no meaning of painting scenes, but that is not true and those charlatans made it up

[@dildotbaggins1353]

There is A LOT of emotion in her art. She explained her emotions. Emotions have not true form. So they can explained as abstract. If you think the classical paintings art art they aren't. By your viewpoint. The majority were paid commissions by the church.
