At the Whitney Museum

At the Whitney museum www.whitney.org I saw a retrospective of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama pictured here.  Her work spanning many decades encompasses painting, sculpture, drawing, collages and large-scale installations.

Although I was unfamiliar with her work, I found myself intrigued by her vision and the vast collection and variety of her art.

In fact, today the first day of my collage class we were given an assignment  called "white on white."  I always considered myself a colorist so this was going to be quite a challenge.  I must have been influenced by Kusama's use of polka dots in many of her pieces and the result is pictured here:
