Yayoi Kusama studied painting in Kyoto in the 1940s, first in the traditional Japanese style, then in the so-called »yoga« style, which was influenced by Western painting. In the late 1950s, encouraged by the painter Georgia O'Keeffe, Kusama moved to the United States. She became known primarily in New York, and her reputation quickly reached Europe as well.
