@ourmodernarchive: RIP Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026), whose immersive installations and remarkable eye for color and pattern transformed her art into a language that anyone around the world could understand ❤️ it would be remiss not to note that while kusama’s legacy was undeniable, she wasn’t perfect. she used hurtful, racist language and apologized far too long after doing so. we can remember folks for their impact while also making sure their history is recounted accurately. #yayoikusama#artistsoftiktok#womenartists#arthistory#femaleartist

sucked finding out she was racist. she apologized cause she got super famous let’s be real, had she remained in obscurity that apology would have never come… that’s why it took 20 years. while i believe people change, hurtful language and rhetoric is absolutely unacceptable

making sure you guys read the second half of the post’s caption. context and accountability are important when paired with news like this.

I am a big art lover but this one doesn’t feel the same with her horrid racism. Dolly and Tim were epic and kind. She was cruel.

I love that her schizophrenia manifested as so much colour and movement. my mum's was a lifetime of religious psychosis.
