@betweentwotakes: Yayoi Kusama, the legendary Japanese artist whose singular vision transformed polka dots, pumpkins and mirrored spaces into some of contemporary art’s most recognizable imagery, has died at 97. Kusama died Aug. 14 at a hospital in Tokyo, according to a statement from her studio. “Throughout an extraordinary lifetime devoted entirely to artistic creation, Kusama pursued an internationally acclaimed career as a pioneering avant-garde artist whose creative practice encompassed visual art, performance, fiction, and poetry.” Her creative drive endured until the very end: “She continued to paint until her final days, never setting aside her brush, and continued exploration of forever love and eternal soul.” #yayoikusama
