Which art movement particularly influenced Kusama's work in America?

  • Abstract impressionism

  • Cubism

  • Gothic

  • Renaissance

Answer

Abstract expressionism, a post–World War II art movement characterized by gestural brushwork and large-scale paintings, greatly influenced Yayoi Kusama's work while she was living in America. The movement's emphasis on spontaneity and emotional expression resonated with Kusama's own artistic style, and she adopted many of its techniques in her own work.
