Yasuo Kuniyoshi: Anxiety and Americanness
No full textThis paper examines the work of Japanese-American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi as he expressively naviates his dual identity. Working within Modernist and Folk styles, his work blends Japanese idioms with American folk art influences as well as that of European modernism, engaging with global art practices.

This artist’s work in propaganda against Japan further complicated his modes of expression through his art as he was challenged to refine his representational codes in order to protect himself.
