  • The Art Of Gaman Arts And Crafts From Japanese American Internment Camps
    June 8, 2010

    Not long after the bombing of Pearl Harbor launched World War II, 120,000 ethnic Japanese on the West Coast, more than two-thirds of whom were American citizens by birth, were ordered interned for the duration of the conflict. While incarcerated in these spartan sites, internees sought solace in art, turning wood from discarded scrap lumber and found materials into artworks and furniture to civilize and beautify their bleak surroundings. These achievements and the difficult circumstances under which they were created, are showcased in a fascinating exhibition, ⁔he Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942‱946,†on view at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) in Washington, D.C., through January 30. It features more than 100 objects that are placed in historical context through archival photographs, artifacts and documentary films.
