As one of the leading artists of Japan\u2019s influential Neo Pop art since the 1990s, Nara is well known for his depictions of children and animals. Nara\u2019s cute, though often menacing, children and animals are so readily associated with popular culture, particularly manga comics and animation, that viewers may neglect to contemplate his evocative imagery in depth. His popular appeal masks the serious social and personal dimensions of his work\u2014feelings of helplessness and rage, and a sense of isolation in a hyper-networked society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody&#8217;s Fool Exhibition September 9, 2010-January 2, 2011 The Asia Society | 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street NY, NY 10021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8004"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8007,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004\/revisions\/8007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
