From Ask Art:
An American-Japanese non-objective painter, he was born in Hollywood, California on October 29, 1919, to a wealthy Japanese landlord and builder. At the age of six he was taken to live in Japan, where he remained until age 19. According to the painter himself, he started painting at the age of six, and won many prizes in exhibitions at his Japanese schools. At the age of 10 he was already painting landscapes and still lives in oil.
From November 7, 1941 to February 23, 1946 he served in the U. S. Army. In 1949, while he was attending Santa Monica City College, he was awarded the Grand Prize for a painting which was later presented to the Methodist Church in West Los Angeles.
From 1950 to 1951 he studied under Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Morris Kanter and Byron Browne at the Art Students' League in New York. The following year he studied under Vaclav Vytlacil there. In 1951,
1952 and 1953 he studied under a scholarship at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in New York.
In 1952 he won the John Sloan Memorial Fellowship at the Art Students' League in New York and in 1953, the Edward G. McDowell Traveling Fellowship. Under the latter he studied for one year in Europe. He did special study work at the McDowell Colony, Peterborough, N.H., from September 1 to October 15, 1954 and from October 15, 1956 to March 15, 1957.
His work has been exhibited on Cape Cod, in New York City (at the Art Student's League in 1955), Paris, France, and elsewhere.
From 1951 on, Yamamoto made his home in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he lived with his British born wife and son.
Taro Yamamoto died in 1994.

Taro Yamamoto
Taro Yamamoto was a member of the New York Abstract Expressionist School. Born in California in 1919, he returned to Japan until the age of 19 to receive a traditional Japanese education. Already exhibiting great promise as an artist at a young age, he enrolled in Los Angeles City College upon his return. He served in the Second World War from 1941–46, after which he continued his art studies at Santa Monica College and then, New York City. It was at the famous Art Students League in New York that Yamamoto had the opportunity to study with Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Morris Kantor, Vaclav Vytlacil and Byron Browne. His talent was well-recognized as he was awarded a scholarship to the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in 1952 and a traveling fellowship to Europe in 1953. Yamamoto eventually settled with his wife and son in the art colony of Wellfleet on Cape Cod where he died in 1994. During Yamamoto's most prolific period in the 50s and early 60s he had solo exhibitions at the Gallerie Huit in Paris, the Art Students League and Krasner Gallery in New York and Gallery 371 in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
