Takako Yamaguchi’s Add This to Rhetoric manifests within its majestic composition the full span of this artist’s international education, her cultural and environmental interests, and significant reference points in modern art history. Born in Japan and pursuing her studies in Tokyo, then at Bates College, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of California, Santa Barbara, Yamaguchi has pursued a seamless merger of eclectic influences. These range from the quasi-abstract elegance of traditional kimono, to the luminous landscape paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe, to the schematic aesthetic of Mondrian and the optical wonderments of Vasarely and Escher. Her attraction to the highly varied terrain of the American West that she calls home is synergistically allied with the region’s history of spiritual seeking and cultural progressivism.
