President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which ordered Japanese Americans to be evicted from their homes and re located to the desert forpurposes of national security. While there is much documented research on the historical event, there is little on the visual art that Japanese Americans produced during their confinement. This art, when previously looked at, was used to supplement documentation on the internment, and not appreciated in its own right. This paper looks at this art froman art historical perspective, ascribing equal importance to the art, the artists, and the social/historical context. The art shows a process of shaping a new identity, as Japanese Americans were caught between two cultures in a time of war. Some of the art is characterized by the use of traditional Japanese techniques, and other pieces incorporate more contemporary American styles. The art was also used as a vehicle for social commentary and personal expression during this confusing, lonely,and isolating time period. However, the art fromthe camps was produced by many professionaland established artists of the Japanese American community, and can stand on its own as fine art. This paper looks at the work of fourof these artists: Chiura Obata, Masusaboro and Hisako Hibi, and Mine Okubo. -
