Art professor's paintings show internment camp life
During World War II, thousands of Japanese-Americans were forced to give up their homes and businesses to live in detention campments that dotted the West coast.
Roger Shimomura, professor of art at the University of Kansas, is a painter who lived for two years with his family in an internment camp in Mindiga County, Idaho.
The experiences of his family and many other Japanese Americans have become a part of Shimomura's work. The Minidika Series, by Shimomura, is on exhibit at the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art until Sunday.
Represented in the paintings are experiences that many Japanese-Americans found both familiar and frustrating.
The first painting, "Notification," depicts the head of a Japanese-American home receiving the message that his family is to be imprisoned in an internment camp.
The second painting, "Exodus," shows a line of people walking the road to their cue.
experiences of members of Shimomura's family.
OTHER PAINTINGS are based on the
One work, "442," is dedicated to
Shikimura's aunt and the 442 regiment of
Japanese troops.
The 442 regiment consisted solely of Japanese-Americans taken from internment camps to fight for America in Europe. That regiment is the most highly decorated unit from the Army, Shimomura said.
"No-bo Yoy," the sixth painting in the series, is named for a novel by John Okada,
Another work, "Diary," is dedicated to Shimnoraime's grandmother, who lived in the village.
"My grandmother kept diaries for 60 years. I have two that were written later."
No-no boys were incoming Japanese-Americans who answered "no" to the two questions that were asked of all internment camp members.
Spencer Museum is open from 9:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
