5. Art Style
Fukuda’s artwork was often influenced by his moral standards and as a post-war designer, many of his most famous pieces were oriented around anti-war protest such as Victory 1945 which spoke on the senselessness of war and gun violence. Later in his mid-50’s, he incorporated illusionism in his artwork. Examples of this change in his artwork is the Amnesty International poster and his most famous sculpture Lunch With A Helmet On, a sculpture made entirely of forks, knives, and spoons which shadow shows a detailed motorcycle.
