It always gives me pleasure to break traditions, and if that’s rebellion, I must be young at heart. Anyway, when I received my call, and when it became clear that the news wasn’t some cruel prank or a grotesque mistake, I called Walter Lorraine, my editor. I asked hi...

  • JANMコレクションからたどる日系アメリカ人の歴史と美術

    全米日系人博物館は、日系移民と日系アメリカ人の歴史と文化を収集・保存するアメリカを代表する博物館です。その所蔵コレクションから、多彩な日系アメリカ人アーティストの芸術的作品を紹介いたします。複製の形で展示するこれらの作品は、移民から戦時中の強制収容の歴史を記録するとともに、その時、日系アメリカ人アーティストたちが何を見て考えていたのかを浮かび上がらせています。第二次世界大戦中、アメリカ西海岸に住んでいた日系アメリカ人は、不当にもアメリカの強制収容所へと送られました。彼らはその過酷な生活においても、創造力やユーモアを失わず、その中で見つけた美や喜びを描いていきました。日系アメリカ人のアーティストの、たくましさと芸術性に触れ、その歴史をたどっていただければ幸いです。上作品：ヒサコ・ヒビ、「洗濯室」、油彩、画布、50.8 cm x 61 cm、全米日系人博物館蔵、イブキ・ヒビ・リー寄贈、96.601.15
