Topaz Moon: Chiura Obata's Art of the Internment

Chiura Obata was one of more than 100,000 Japanese Americans forcefully relocated to the stark barracks of desert internment camps during World War II. Obata s work from this period gives us a view into the camps that is at once honest in the details of austerity and hardship and strikingly lyrical in its portrayal of hope and beauty even in incarceration.
