Photograph by David Coleman. The artwork "Untitled" (1980) by Manabu Mabe, displayed at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington DC, represents a significant piece in the narrative of Asian migration to the Americas. Mabe, born in 1924 in Japan and immigrating to Brazil in 1934, became one of Brazil's most renowned abstract expressionist painters, embodying the cultural fusion that the "Fusion" exhibit aims to highlight. This 1980 piece likely showcases Mabe's characteristic style, which often features vibrant colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and abstract forms that blend elements of both his Japanese heritage and Brazilian cultural influences. The painting may display a complex interplay of colors and textures, reflecting Mabe's unique artistic vision that bridges Eastern and Western artistic traditions. The artwork is displayed within the Art Museum of the Americas, housed in a 1912 Spanish colonial style building that is part of the Organization of American States complex. This setting adds an additional layer of cultural context, with the early 20th-century architecture providing a contrasting backdrop to Mabe's modern abstract work. As part of the "Fusion" exhibit, this painting serves to illustrate the rich cultural tapestry created by Asian migration to South America. It highlights themes of identity, cultural adaptation, and the evolution of artistic expression in diaspora communities. The Art Museum of the Americas, with its focus on Latin American and Caribbean art, provides an ideal venue for exploring these themes of migration and cultural interchange. Mabe's work in this context not only represents Brazilian art but also speaks to broader themes of cultural identity, artistic innovation, and the global nature of modern art movements. This exhibit, by showcasing works like Mabe's within the historic building in DC's Foggy Bottom district, creates a dialogue between different eras and cultures, reflecting the complex and interconnected nature of artistic
