Get to know Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist known for her extensive
use of polka dots and for her infinity installations, in this
fascinating nonfiction Level 3 Ready-to-Read, part of a series of
biographies about people "you should meet!" Meet Yayoi Kusama. When
Yayoi Kusama was a little girl, she told her parents she wanted to
be an artist. Her parents forbade her and tore up her drawings. But
that didn't stop her. When she couldn't afford art supplies, she
used old paper sacks and mud to create her art. Eventually, she
convinced her parents to let her go to art school and study
painting. In 2006, she became the first Japanese woman to receive
the Praemium Imperiale. It is one of the highest honors given by
the Japanese imperial family. Ten years later, she received the
Order of Culture, another prestigious award given to people who
make important contributions to Japanese culture. Today, she is one
of the most famous artists in the world.
