Yayoi Kusma
Yayoi Kusma started to paint using polka dots and nets as motifs. She created fantastic paintings in watercolors, pastels and oils.
Early in Kusama’s career, she began covering surfaces (walls, floors, canvases, and later, household objects and naked assistants) with the polka dots that would become a trademark of her work. The vast fields of polka dots, or “infinity nets,” as she called them, were taken directly from her hallucinations.
