‘Technique is that of a Japanese painting ,Mind is that of oil painting This is the Matsui winter child's feature which I consider first. She constitutes a work like Western modern pictures, and draws by the technique of a Japanese painting. The painter of a classic Japanese painting values the blank which nothing draws. He gives a spatial spread to pictures by utilizing this blank. Matsui hardly makes a blank with a characteristic Japanese painting in this work. She draws countless Fuji's flower instead of being blank. Fuji's flower which she drew has filled 90 percent of the area of this work. What those who look at this work are reminded of from this is the dense closed space characteristic of Western pictures. However, you will find out the feature which is not in Western pictures in this work, when you look at this work. You will be overwhelmed by the force of a picture at a glance, if you look at matiere oil painting which drew and was crowded with the same concentration in the same size as this work. It is force to the extent that he cannot breathe, either. You will be overwhelmed by the force of the work if you look at the great work of a baroque term like Rubens's religious painting. However, when you look at a mural painting thoroughly, you should notice that it is so rough that the details of the work are unexpected. In the usual case, you do not notice the roughness of the details Rubens's great work. That is because you will be overwhelmed by the force of a great work and will not look at it in details to details.You will appreciate a
work thoroughly to details at the same time you feel force for the size of
a work, when you look at this work of Matsui unlike such Rubens's religion
work. The two reason exists. One of the reasons is paints which she is
using for the work. She is using the paints of the Japanese painting. It
seems that there is no materiality which the paints of the Japanese
painting resemble the watercolors of Western pictures, and accumulates
paints on canvas, and it dyes paper by a color. Therefore, if a painter
uses the paints of a Japanese painting, paper will be permeated or it will
flow. Therefore, it does not carry out the painter of a Japanese painting
building a concept beforehand and drawing just like that. Because, even if
it tries to draw a picture as he is a concept, the paints to be used do
not function on up to their expectations. Therefore, the painter of a
Japanese painting draws a picture improvisatorially using paints
permeating or flowing. Therefore, those who look at such a Japanese
painting do not think the construction nature of the whole work as
important. They find whether the painter did skillful use of the portion
he paints permeated or flowed, and it made the beautiful work. The paints
of the Japanese painting are used with this work of
Matsui. The second of reasons
is the light color of paints. Since the paints of a Japanese painting
become a solid like an oil-painting implement and do not become hard, they
become color light. When you look at this work, you find neither primary
color glaringly vivid brightness nor the tense relations of
colors. For the above two
reasons, when seeing this work, the Θ½ can see a work thoroughly to details, even
if overwhelmed by the size and force of a work. However, I do not want to
tell this work that force is insufficient. It is one of the features of
this work. When you look at this work, you can also feel force like
Rubens's Daisaku, and you can also be simultaneously impressed by them,
being able to see the details of this work
thoroughly. According to Matsui's
history, she began to study oil painting and changed into the study of the
Japanese painting behind. The feature of her work explained here may
originate in her history. ‘Force of the background drawn by the technique of the Japanese painting When you look at this
work by Matsui, even if overwhelmed by the size and force of a work, a
work can be thoroughly seen to details. I said that this is the feature of
this work by Matsui. It is intentional that Matsui gave this feature to
this work. Matsui had a reason which should do so. Matsui wanted people to
look at the details of this work thoroughly. Where were the details in
which Matsui wanted what people see thoroughly? The details which Matsui
wanted to show to people are the flower and something that are obstinately
drawn on a background finely in a work and that were crowded. When you
often look at a screen, it turns out that Fuji's flower is drawn. However,
you notice light purple becoming blackish as you turn the look to the
lower one. You will think that the black may be a shadow. Then, you will
notice black having an outline clear one by one as a thing, if eyes are
elaborated. The black was signs that the bee of hundreds of animals and
thousands of animals had extorted from the flower closely. You will think
it uncanny that he notices that at last. By the way, those who
look at this picture will not regard the portion of the background of this
picture as a background, supposing Matsui draws this work by oil painting.
The bee extorted from such much Fuji's that canvas is filled flower and
flower is drawn minute, and the portion has too strong presence for using
the background of a picture. You will find many bees first, supposing you
look at this work drawn by oil painting. Then, you do not feel eeriness
for which it presses gradually. When you look at this original work, you
should notice the background of this work becoming blackish from light
purple first. Then, you will think that you are strange and will gaze at a
portion like the black mist under a background. And when you stare at this
work, you notice that black mist is many bees gradually. You feel uncanny
fear just because you discover the group of a strange bee through such a
process. On the other hand, she
will do whether a background is omitted by drawing some Fuji's flowers and
bees symbolically except it like light purple mist, supposing Matsui draws
this work in a classic Japanese painting. In a classic Japanese painting,
a painter does not draw a background obstinately like this work. When you
look at this work drawn as a classic Japanese painting, you do not feel
the concrete eeriness that there are thousands of
bees. Matsui uses properly and united the feature of oil painting, and the feature of the classic Japanese painting in this work. As a result, this work gained uncanny force and grotesqueness by that.
I adhere to the
background in this work. Matsui drew the flower of Fuji, and the group of
the bee on the background without the crevice in this work. As a result,
she hid the background of this work like curtain, and has lost unfilled
space. This means that depth was omitted in this work. You have a field of
view restricted and will feel a cooped-up feeling, when you look at this
work. By the way, the title
of this work says, "Becoming Friends with All the Children in the World",
and you will hear this title and will imagine a spread. You can also hold
the image to which the child in the world and the link of a friend develop
all over the world from the title of this work. If you look at this work
with such image, you not only cannot feel a spread for a work, but will
feel a cooped-up feeling. Because you see the depth of a work
hidden. Depiction has betrayed
the image of which it is reminded from the language of a title. Those whom
that looks at are made to stir up sense of incongruity. The effect of
giving a shock of sense of incongruity is a kind of dissimilation. The
technique of stirring up dissimilation was utilized by the pictures
technique of surrealisme. The artist of surrealisme started the alienation
effect from the chain of the image of language by the technique of
automatisme, and made the work. For example, Rene Magritte who is one of
the typical painters of surrealisme gives some shocks of being strange to
those who look at a work by showing what shifted common sense one step
partially. People's common sense formed by means of language is the
requisite for the shock. People do not have doubt at all to the common
sense that this is such things originally. When you look at Magritte's
picture, you interpret the contents drawn on the picture by means of
language, and compare with your own common sense. As a result, you are met
by sense of incongruity. Magritte made full use of a technique in order to
change into such a state those who look at a picture. For example, he did
not try to draw the work filled by force which causes an excessive
pictorial image. Instead, the pictures which are easy to interpret by
means of language were made. The pictures which are easy to interpret by
means of language are the solid pictures which consisted of required
images. Therefore, the pictures which Magritte drew have neither thickness
like the design of an illustration, nor
presence. Matsui's work is the
same as this. Therefore, Matsui chose the form of the Japanese painting
which does not push forward presence. Furthermore, Matsui obtained the
result of not making existence assert strongly by choosing light color in
this work.
‘The pictures manufacture process
by a module Now, this
work of Matsui is superficial like the illustration of a design. At a
certain point, this resembles Magritte's pictures. Matsui has standardized
like a platform each part article currently drawn in this work. She is not
neglectful. It is the opposite thing. Intentionally, in the background of
this work, she does not draw each flower and bee of Fuji so that it may be
filled independently to presence. If she does such a thing, this work will
overflow with Fuji's flowers and bees. If you actually look at this work
of Matsui, you will notice each Fuji's flower and bee carefully drawn in
this work. In this work, each Fuji's flower and the presence of the bee
are thin. If you see this work by a distant view, you will not notice each
Fuji's flower, or a bee existence. However, you approach a work, and if it
often looks at, you will notice existence Fuji's flower and a majority of
bees, and will be surprised. At the time, you imagine the first writer's
to draw each fine bee and Fuji's flower vindictive figure, and receive
strange impact. The character of the impact which you receive is not the
external touch that is seen and is understood immediately but a thing
which becomes clear gradually. As a result, you have a deep impression
which you do not forget till the future in this work. |
