American artists who contributed to many vanguard artist groups as
prominent members in pre-war American art. His forthcoming book,
Becoming American? The Art and Identity Crisis of Yasuo Kuniyoshi
(University of Hawaii Press), presents an in-depth critical re-evaluation
of the artistic production of Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953), a
prominent American artist of Japanese descent, in the pivotal decades
preceding and following Pearl Harbor and explores ways in which his
work interrogates issues of race, diasporas and nationalism in
American art.
