Hideo Date
Hideo Date (January 5, 1907 to January 6, 2005) was a Japanese-born American painter active from the 1930s to the 1980s, known for combining elements of Japanese ''nihonga'' with American Synchromism. A prominent figure in the Los Angeles art scene prior to World War II, his career was interrupted by the wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans. Although he continued painting for decades after the war, Date's work remained largely ignored until he was rediscovered by a younger generation of artists and curators in the 1990s.
==Early life==
Date was born in Osaka, Japan, and his father left for California in search of work shortly thereafter. Date's mother and brothers later joined his father to help in the hardware store he had established in Fresno, and in 1923, a sixteen-year-old Date immigrated to California as well. After his father was forced to file for bankruptcy and close the hardware store in 1925,〔Patrick, Alisha. "(Hideo Date (1907-2005) )." Retrieved 25 August 2014.〕 the family moved to Los Angeles, where Date graduated from Polytechnic High School.〔 In 1928, he enrolled at the Otis Art Institute, but he left the next year over an argument with the Institute's director, who had urged him to stop painting "in an Oriental manner."〔Cheng, Scarlet. "(A Painter Ready to Claim His Place )" (28 October 2001) ''Los Angeles Times''. Retrieved 25 August 2014.〕 (His parting words: "If you don't like my painting, you can go to hell.")〔Higa, Karin. ''In Living Color: The Art of Hideo Date'' (Berkeley, California: Heyday Books, 2001).〕 Date studied traditional Japanese painting at the Kawabata Gakko in Tokyo for two years, returning to Los Angeles in 1930.
Over the next several years Date became active in the local arts community and began exhibiting his work, helping his two brothers at their flower shop during the day and attending art classes at night.〔 He was a member of the Independents, a group of Los Angeles area artists who rejected the tenets of modernism, and worked closely with Synchromism co-founder Stanton Macdonald-Wright and others in the avant-garde movement.〔 Date showed paintings in exhibitions of the Japanese Artists of Los Angeles, Young Painters at the College Art Association, Foundation of Western Art, the Los Angeles Oriental Artists Group, and the Los Angeles Art Association.〔〔 He received a commission to paint a mural in Pickfair, the mansion home of Mary Pickford, and later Macdonald-Wright, then heading the Southern California Works Progress Administration's Federal Arts Project, arranged for Date to paint another at a school in the Japanese American community of Terminal Island. Date was at work on the second mural at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor and Executive Order 9066; it remained unfinished when he was sent to camp in 1942 and has since disappeared.〔
