Yayoi Kusama is a legend, and this is what makes me love this graphic novel even more. Elisa Macellari captured the essences of Kusama's life, and the art and content of the graphic novel is definitely my cup of tea. Love Kusama and everything related to her. Strongly recommended.

Kusama by Elisa Macellari is a biographical graphic novel based around the life of the Japanese contemporary artist, Yayoi Kusama, who's art rose to prominence in New York in the 1960's.

I was lucky enough to have been to a Kusama art exhibit that features her famous Infinite Room installation at The Broad in Los Angeles, California. While Kusama has a fascinating upbringing with her parents and growing up in Japan, the thing that stuck out to me the most with this graphic novel are the illustrations.

I adored Elisa Maceralli's artwork and her interpretation of Kusama's famous pieces. The art style and color story featured in this book is stunning and truly riveting.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow I didn't know that artist at all. I have to say that her work with the holes and stuff is quite unsettling 😂 but her performances I found very interesting. I'm grateful that I had a chance to hear about her. The graphic novel itself is a fast and well constructed read. I could relate to her mental health issues as well.

Thanks to Laurence King Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC. I :)
