The Japanese-born Yasuo Kuniyoshi has over the last three decades been one of the most prominent of the American assimilators of French post-impressionist art, especially that phase of it embodied in the painting of painters Andre Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck. This may turn out, however, to be the sole substance of his claim to be remembered. For Kuniyoshi's retrospective show at the Whitney Museum revealed him as a much weaker artist than one had expected, one, certainly, not in the class of such other notable assimilators as W. Hartley and even Max Weber.
