During World War 2 the mass internment of Japanese Americans caused considerable loss in the few weeks it ever 100000 American residents were given to relocate many homes businesses and valuable personal belongings were lost many never to be recovered there we don't often realize it was part of these casualties by 940 Japanese Americans played a major role in California's art scene but the war destroyed this once dynamic creative community. A portrait painter favored by Hollywood stars had the bad luck of opening his 1st major solo exhibit on the same day as the bombing of Pearl Harbor another artist had to cut short a prestigious European scholarship and several painters praised in the Los Angeles Times Lost most or all of their pre-war work in the scramble before internment these artists like every other Japanese American forced into internment arrived at the camps bereft but as artists they also were fortunate and that they could transform the world around them while nothing could replace their lost work or their interruption to their careers many in turn artists turned their tragedy into new kinds of artistic production one of these legacies are the art schools that the intern artists founded to help raise the spirits of their fellow internees at camps in town for in California and to pass Utah for example volunteer teachers included an internationally celebrated woodblock artist and painter Manson our teenage. Was encouraged to study animation He later grew up to create the cartoon classic Scooby Doo the camp art school in White Mountain Wyoming was particularly impactful that school was run by Benji a charismatic colorist previously central to the our students league a Los Angeles the Los Angeles Art League was known for experimental techniques and collegial support Oscar winning filmmaker John Houston he studied there credited the Art Students League as more instructive than any Hollywood apprenticeship. But war had taken its toll and by the time of internment the l.a. Art Students League was no longer in operation except at Heart Mountain where it was reconstituted by Benji. Benji himself was so traumatized by internment they did all but stopped painting yet he threw himself into teaching leading the internment camp through a curriculum directly imported from the Art Students League Hartman's art school might have been the very population that the federal government interned as potential enemies but when no one else could maintain the are Students League it was these interned Japanese Americans who are the caretakers of this vibrant flame of American Art. After the war the Los Angeles Art League reopened educating diverse students working in all kinds of media they may not know it but all they are legal m 9 are in some sense disciples of Benji Acaba and the artists of Japanese American internment as a traditional Japanese proverb reminds us.
