Curatorial Notes

The renowned California furniture maker John Cederquist uses elaborate inlays and airbrush paint to create complex tromp l’oeil images on his cabinets, chairs, and trays. After visiting the 1992 LACMA exhibition When Art Became Fashion: Kosode in Edo-Period Japan, Cederquist began a series of cabinets inspired by the forms and patterns on Japanese kimonos and kosodes. Subsequently, he saw the catalogue for Bard Graduate Center’s Wearing Propaganda: Textiles on the Home Front in Japan, Britain and the United States 1931–1945 and became fascinated by the beautiful but boldly militaristic designs of Japanese propaganda garments from World War II. His next series of cabinets, which included Double Fuji, drew on these wartime motifs.
