Kenzo Okada (岡田 謙三 \"Okada Kenzō\" September 28, 1902 – July 25, 1982) was a Japanese-born American painter and the first Japanese-American artist to work in the abstract expressionist style and receive international acclaim.According to Michelle Stuart, \"when Okada came to the United States he was already a mature painter, well considered in his native Japan.
