The piece I chose is titled No. F and was created by Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese born artist in 1929.  This painting was created in 1959, right after Kusama had left Japan and moved to New York City because of her attraction to the social freedom and teeming postwar art scene.  The notion behind this painting can be seen in a series of her painting called “Infinity Nets” where she is displaying infinite repetition and infinite space.  Kusama used a hint of minimalism with her all white expansive canvas however put a twist on it and made it more personal by using intricately webbed, thick, impasto (the process or technique of laying on paint or pigment thickly so that it stands out from a surface) in order to show her own experiences through the painting.  The experiences she is allowing people to feel through this piece are childhood and now adulthood challenge with hallucinations.  As I looked at the piece from different angles you can really see the paint protrude from the painting.  This painting reminded me of my ceilings in my room, I’m not quite sure what the name of the material used for the ceiling is called but it has similar bumps and ridges just as Kusama’s painting.  And when I stare into the ceiling for longer than 60 seconds, it begins to move as if it somehow became it became liquid and as your eyes focus on one spot, your peripherals see nothing but this white rigidness as if there was no end to it, as if it were infinite.  I think that is the feeling that Kusama is portraying through No. F.  You are surrounded by infinite space.
