Despite the schizophrenia, she's living her best life. She managed to deal with her hallucinations through art, lives in a hospital with proper care, doesn't need to think about what to cook, do the dishes, etc. As a disabled person, this would be amazing for me. And I would also begin to focus on my art.
You're right, Minimalist. I was thinking that after I watched this. Obviously the content was very interesting. Focusing on art while being disabled isn't easy. Even though I try to push through and do my best to do everything I can, I don't get to truly focus on creating because this world was built for able- bodied people and the standards are held higher than what I can achieve on my own. I try to do what I can and give grace to myself when it gets hard. Go do what you can and then do what you want.
How wonderful it would be to have a retreat/hospital where artists could live with as much help as they needed and in turn, the hospital and staff would be supported by their work. This was wonderful Alex, I had never heard of this woman. I especially love the infinity mirror installations. Subscribed :)
Size does not matter, it's the quality of the work that matters, not how big the studio space is. This video has given me a greater appreciation of Kusama's work.
Fascinating! I could sit and admire her paintings for hours. Just imagine this canvas is only a fraction of what's going on inside her mind. Beautiful Art, Beautiful Mind, Beautiful Woman.🌹🎨
Years ago, I got obsessed with her because of her participation art exhibit. It was rooms and the guests were given dot stickers to freely place anywhere they wanted. The before, during and after of the rooms was al cool. It's called the Obliteration room
I love this concept of looking at the work spaces of artists! Really unique and interesting! Especially loved see Yahoo's space as well as seeing her at work. What a great artist! Thanks!
Your mention about the hours of toil in an art studio is much like the musician who spends hours in a studio composing or practicing to find the art of the finished process.
She looks so much like my grandmother who was also an artist, sadly not a wealthy one, also not a very nice person. But the miniature stature & blunt fringe & bob are spot on (accidental pun).
Wow. I was always drawn to her and I can't believe that she's so humble and grounded. It's wonderful to see this. I'm autistic and I live in a small room where someone took me in and took care of me after a nazi ambush that left me maimed and disabled. I have to be in one place and I don't feel good unless I'm somewhere I am loved and cared for. I found an fairy god art mother who took me under her wing and she helped me start creating work. It's amazing to know that such a prolific artist is living in a psych ward. Does she need a home ? A care giver ? This is the just fascinating
I worked in a hospital in then 80's that had an attached MHC. There was a tunnel underground that connected the two for pt transfers. The walls were divided into large squares and the spaces were given to MH pts that wanted to paint. It was so incredibly cool, unusual, scary, and sad at times to see how they saw themselves and the world. They painted over it in the 90's.
A fascinating person. To live with unknown suffering yet continue cultivating her artistry producing such bright and optimistic work is truly remarkable and admirable. Something to think of when we have “bad hair” days. Thank you for this lovely presentation.
It's curious that we live in a world full of circular shapes. Of cells with a circular shape, which, when pressed together, create other shapes. Even atoms and smaller things seem to have a shape that tends towards the circular. As if the circular shape were the pixels of reality.
Yayoi Kusama is fascinating, I deeply admire her dedication, probably obsession with paintings. Of course I love her deeply colorful world. Thanks for making this video
Thank you for sharing. As you've said, making it easy and with the least amount of friction to getting into the craft is so important. With Art, Music, and considerably many other forms of expression. Your voice is easy on the ears
She is truly a unique artist and inspirational person. I think her story is remarkable and shows you the importance of art and advocating for your needs. I believe that if we didnt have to worry about working, money, meals and such, that we all could be capable of creating such interesting art! ❤
Andy Warhol stole the idea for wallpaper art from her. She felt incredibly betrayed when he did it, as she thought he was her friend. Well, opportunistic sh!te is what he was. :/ Since that time she became a loner, went back to Japan and limited her contacts with others.
@@alexwilliamyt I read a huge article on her once and this struck me, as she really struggled in NY. All alone, as a young girl in NY not so long after the war and the sentiments were as they were. :/
@@pillarsoflight2607 "progressive"? Pointing out jackassery is progressive? Okay, then I'm progressive, but you could try to be less well, jackass. *cries with laughter in the corner* oh, the edginess of the edgy wannabes....
Looks like a focused and organized female Japanese artist. Funny how that is mind blowing. It feels refreshing and authentic that she does the work. Thank you.
Many of us would give a limb to live a life completely focussed on our art. I say this without envy, as I know she has had her struggles but boy, what a difference a life like this has made. I couldnt even paint in her style in Australia without being accused of appropriation of indigenous art. Its a fascinating topic and this was an interesting video. Thank you.
Well you sound extremely envious. Perhaps she’s just more talented than you? There are infinite other styles that you could utilise that aren’t appropriative, and you don’t have to have massive success or recognition to live an art filled life.
@@joycohen938Australian indigenous art history spans 40k years. The pointillism style is just one of wide spectrum of styles and media. Albert Namatjira’s water colour paintings date back to the 1930s -no white guy taught him. By reducing Australian indigenous art to white-man-taught pointillism, you clearly show racism & envy
Very messed up & neocolonial concern:”I can’t copy a Japanese artist because I may stand accused of appropriating Australian indigenous artists”. If you don’t even intend to develop your own style then creating art is not for you
Thanks for the video Alex, it was very good. I've been an admirer of Ms Kusama's work for a while now and I enjoyed seeing behind the scenes. At 7:17 and 9:34 we caught a glimpse of the reception area you mentioned with shelves of catalogues etc. I think her studio space reflects Japanese cultural influence to some degree, being small in scale, very organised and simplified to include what is needed and what is beautiful.
Fascinating video thank you very much ❤ . What an origin story ! I'm 50 & FINALLY about to set up a tiny studio in a house I'm about to move to so the confirmation here of a small space is everything I needed to hear. I've been drawing & painting since I was a toddler but my parents got killed in a car accident in Athens, Greece, when I was ten . After a neglectful abusive hair raising time I studied art for 7 years in London in my early twenties. Life got in the way, the shock of losing my parents led me to skipping my teenage years. Now I've reached a point in life where I promise myself I'm going to live like a teen for the rest of my days , creating large colourful whimsical abstracts much like these in the video as I always have, but with a new sense of focus & intention of having more exhibitions & getting professional about selling. I struggled to be parted with my work like I was trying to hang on to my parents and childhood. With life out of the way, if a disabled 95 y/o lady in a phyciatric hospital can do it ; SO CAN I ! This video gave me so much motivation, I've battled depression, addiction to alcohol had a life time of taking care of everyone around me & now I have,'me', time for the first time ever, without terrifying responsibilities so as I find myself ,'done with worrying' free from mental traumas & addiction I can take up where I left off : playing like a child for the rest of my life . I have zero fear of my mortality so nothing is in my way from taking wild risks which I always have done but without the stress of having to grow up 😂. I've just Subscribed...I loved your dialogue & I do look forward to binge watching your channel & everything you have yet to create. I feel so close to where I always wanted to be : carefree & able to play all day & all night to make up for having the world on my shoulders. My brother isn't six anymore and that's when all my troubles started. I can rewind and lay on my stomach on the floor & kick my legs backwards & forwards & be in that zone I was as a kid. I feel so lucky ! Your delivery is fantastic & again, thank you for what you do ❤💯. Watching from Italy where I've been for the last 4 years sitting very very still letting it all wash over me , healing & reeling to paint because I have to ! Best flow state to be in after all the parlava thus far 😂 🎉
Thank you very much that was very interesting. A very inspiring awesome lady , I am so glad she has finally got the recognition she so deserves. She is so unique and original. I was very lucky to see one of her exhibitions in Manchester since the London one had completely sold out . Yayoi Kusama is a very inspiring human being .🌞💖
Thank you so much for giving this brief but intensely informative look into this amazing woman’s life. I have often fascinated over her life and the complexity of the simplicity of her work.
Thank you for these highly well-made and well researched videos. Behind the scenes of artists' studios and process is a hugely fascinating subject to me, I greatly appreciate the quality of information you're giving and your well-spoken and pleasant voice. Please keep going.
Being a child I saw patterns too. It was part of the so called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome and it scared the hell out of me. I will never forget that.
I vaguely remember this woman from a video in the past, about her obsession with polka dots I think. You did a great job with this video and actually telling about WHY she does what she does. I find her inspiring and I can relate to some things with her.
Great video. I’ve been lucky enough to go to one of Yayoi Kusama’s exhibits, and it’s really fun and moving, I recommend it if you haven’t been to one.
If she has a permanent place to live, doesn’t have to pay for medical or food, and she is the most famous artist in the world, where does all of her earnings go? This is totally fascinating to me! What a bizarre and wonderful life.❤️
Yea good question! Most of her earnings go to hospital fees, managing her company and staff members, equipment costs, and any large sculpture work or installations will usually cost a fair amount. She also runs a small museum of her work. Other than that, i'm sure she's just pocketing most of it or moving it into the Kusama Foundation.
Needed this video! Love her work that's very inspiring. So far today discovered people making makeup looks based on an adorable hippo and this. Both very Needed. Gonna need TH-cam to do better at letting us block certain content or keywords and have a better filter for inspiring art content or inspiration not people selling me merchandise made by slave labor practices oppression trashing everything including water supplies. Be way better, especially on premium TH-cam. I'm only here to get inspired, not hear about pointless idolatry celebrities, etc. Since I'm not on any social media besides TH-cam can say I appreciate you bringing this artist to light and glad it popped up on my feed. Love her colorful pieces especially that pumpkin!!! That pumpkin sculpture piece in her studio is stunning. Beautiful composition just something about it find stunning all of it. Thanks again for sharing.
Around 2005 I visited Jeff Koon's studio on the west coast of Manhattan. A friend from art school was working for him and invited me. I was excited to see it, but then left jaded after a full tour. So many art grads creating his works for him. Everyone was hushed and it had an uncomfortable vibe. I was shocked how much space he had given the cost of space in NYC-despite how wealthy Jeff is. A few of my classmates worked for him-it's too bad it was so long ago that I couldn't help you get in to tour the space for a video. I think studio tours would be fascinating for many to see, and help the artists out with promotion as well.
Amazing that you got to tour his studio, but the reality of working for Koons is not so amazing. I made a video look at Koons' studio space, I don't know if you've seen that one or not. I tried to highlight the interesting relationship he has with his workers.
@@alexwilliamyt I haven't seen that and I will have to check it out. This was the first video of yours YT recommended to me and I enjoyed it. My friend used to imitate Jeff's voice and the way he made decisions-he seemed like an odd character. Jeff wasn't there the day I toured. My friend helped out with design and colors on computers next to where they painted the sculptures. I also got to watch the artists on scaffolding doing his paintings for him. It felt like a factory and not an art studio-quite impersonal despite him controlling the images/looks of final "products". Given Jeff's background, he seems to see art as a commodity and not as much an expression.
Thanks for sharing. I commend you for your research and passion. Here is some friendly feedback to hopefully help improve your videos as you go from strength to strength: • Consider just narrating as a VO; seeing you in the video doesn't really add to the story. If you do insist on including yourself, please adjust your lighting as it is currently flat • Reduce the amount of times you say "right?" • Narrate with more variations in pitch (i.e., less monotone) • In your dialogue, consider a few more pauses here and there to make your narration feel less rushed. Best of luck with your content!
Thanks for watching! Drop a like if you enjoyed - it really goes a long way!
Despite the schizophrenia, she's living her best life. She managed to deal with her hallucinations through art, lives in a hospital with proper care, doesn't need to think about what to cook, do the dishes, etc.
As a disabled person, this would be amazing for me. And I would also begin to focus on my art.
What are you waiting for? Just do/focus on your art!!! Tomorrow is not promised...
Not "despite of". Her "disability" schizophrenia is the catalyst of her artwork.

I didn't actually know she has a biography. I might have to pick that one up!
@@alexwilliamyt It´s a tiny book, only publised in english I think. "Infinity Net: the Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama (2003) by Yayoi Kusama"
Fascinating! I could sit and admire her paintings for hours. Just imagine this canvas is only a fraction of what's going on inside her mind. Beautiful Art, Beautiful Mind, Beautiful Woman.🌹🎨
Her poetry is also beautiful. Just had the opportunity to see her mirrored exhibit at the Speed Museum in Louisville. Inspiring.
Imagine the fabrics design she could make.😂❤ I love colors

It felt like a factory and not an art studio-quite impersonal despite him controlling the images/looks of final "products". Given Jeff's background, he seems to see art as a commodity and not as much an expression.
Much appreciated.
I love her. She’s had a lot of trauma and so this kind of physical need for safety in order to create, I totally understand. What a person ❤✨
The way she walks is so cute ever since she was younger ❤
🎉❤A FASCINATING AND FANTASTIC VIDEO OF A BRILLIANT ARTIST👌💐✨️‼️THANK YOU. CAPE TOWN
She is Artist that makes their own art at a time.
"One of one." Super comment.I want to be myself and no other.
You're blowing up! Great video, thoughtful commentary. Where did you find the footage? super good
Thanks! Footage was found from other videos/short documentaries online.
@@alexwilliamyt Luvit! When I do that, I always worry that I’m going to get a copy-write strike. Maybe I’m just being paranoid 😋
If you keep clips under 8-10 seconds you'll be fine. Plenty of channels that use clips from movies/tv shows and don't get any copy-write strikes.
@@alexwilliamyt 👍👍
Very nice
No cape.
I was specifically looking for a comment like this
These look like examples of neugraphic art that I've seen, on a grand scale. Fascinating.
Thanks for sharing. I commend you for your research and passion. Here is some friendly feedback to hopefully help improve your videos as you go from strength to strength:
• Consider just narrating as a VO; seeing you in the video doesn't really add to the story. If you do insist on including yourself, please adjust your lighting as it is currently flat
• Reduce the amount of times you say "right?"
• Narrate with more variations in pitch (i.e., less monotone)
• In your dialogue, consider a few more pauses here and there to make your narration feel less rushed.
Best of luck with your content!
She really is living the dream
