Dizzying dots and eye-popping polka dots, the trademarks of Japanese-born visual and performance artist Yayoi Kusama. For Kusama art is a necessity--"art as medicine." By choice Kusama lives and works in a psychiatric facility in Japan. Her madness--she sees dots! There is a retrospective of her work at the Whitney Museum in NYC until September 30, 2012.

Joan Mitchell (1925 - 1992) famously cantankerous American abstract expressionist painter and printmaker, is thought to have been a synesthete, someone who saw colored letters, sounds, and emotions.It is said that her works evokes lyricism, rage, and violence. But I most love her lush landscape-like paintings.
