Ono’s work is examined through her interactions with both Japanese and American avant-garde artists and philosophies, thus using Ono’s life and work as one potential case study in demonstrating the important dialog between East and West which manifested into several important avant-garde movements and artworks. My paper further seeks to complicate the traditional Western-centric narratives of art history by acknowledging intersectional readings of works and artists’ histories, by looking at Ono’s unique experience as a Japanese woman living in America, eventually marrying a pop singer whose fame would affect her public image for decades.","PeriodicalId":428625,"journal":{"name":"Re:Locations - Journal of the Asia-Pacific World","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115560693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
