Ink and Internment: The Wartime Artistry of Japanese Americans and Spaniards During World War II
Get PDFWorld War II displaced millions of people around the world. “Ink and Internment: The Wartime Artistry of Japanese Americans and Spaniards During World War II” evaluates the internment experiences of Japanese Americans and Spaniards through the lens of art with a special focus on two artists: Miné Okubo and Josep Bartolí. Okubo, a Japanese American artist born in 1927, experienced internment in the United States as a young adult. Her artwork reveals her personal experience as well as that of her fellow internees. Okubo created her art memoir, Citizen 13600, to share the internment experience of Japanese Americans with others. Josep Bartolí, a Spanish artist born in 1910, experienced internment in France as an adult. Bartolí’s artwork reveals his personal experience as well as the experience of other Spanish exiles interned in France. Bartolí’s art memoir, Campos de Concentración, shares his experience through his sketches. This thesis, “Ink and Internment: The Wartime Artistry of Japanese Americans and Spaniards During World War II,” provides an overview of the history of Japanese American internment and Spanish internment, a discussion of artworks produced in these camps, and an analysis of how internment art is currently being preserved. It also delves into the importance of preserving internment art
