Born in Japan, acclaimed Seattle artist Kenjiro Nomura (1896-1956)
came to the United States as a child of ten, received artistic
recognition by age twenty, and in the 1930s became the best-known
artist of Japanese descent in the Northwest, his artwork widely
exhibited regionally and nationally. Along with more than one
hundred thousand Japanese Americans from the West Coast, Nomura was
incarcerated during the war but continued to paint, leaving a
visual record grounded in place and circumstance. In postwar years
he developed a new abstract style that brought him recognition once
again. In Kenjiro Nomura, American Modernist, Barbara Johns
presents Nomura's life and artistic achievement within their
historical context. Her account depicts Seattle as a stronghold of
prewar Issei artistic activity, and Nomura's work as providing a
meaningful contribution to the history of American art. The book is
generously illustrated with artwork tracing Nomura's entire career.
David F. Martin, curator of the Cascadia Art Museum, expands the
context of Nomura's accomplishment with an account of the artists
with whom Nomura associated. This publication is distributed for
the Cascadia Art Museum.
