松尾 敏男
Toshio Matsuo深山の春
Springtime Deep in the Mountains1F
-
松尾敏男は、生涯を通して大輪の花を咲かせ続けた。特に牡丹は評判を呼び「花の松尾敏男」とも称され、遺作「玄皎想」にも大輪の白牡丹が描かれ、その下には猫がいる。作者にとっては、動物もまた、大切なモチーフであった。
動物も鳥や猫、牛、魚など描いているが、中でも猿の作品は多い。水気をたっぷり含んだ筆で塗った部分が乾く前に、濃度や色彩の異なった筆を浸す「たらし込み」の技法が見られる。
1926年（大正15年）長崎県長崎市生まれ。一時期、郵便局に勤めていたが、画家の道を歩むことを決心し、4年後に退職。1971年 芸術選奨新人賞、1975年 院展文部大臣賞、1979年 日本芸術院賞と、院展を通して実績を積んでいった。
Toshio Matsuo continued to become an ever-greater success through his life. In particular, his peonies gained a strong reputation and he came to be known as Toshio Matsuo of Flowers. He drew large white peonies with a cat below that in his posthumous work called Genkoso. Animals were also an important motif for the artist.
He drew animals such as birds, cats, cows and fish. However, many of his pieces featured monkeys. You can see the technique of “pouring art” immersed with different concentrations and colors before the parts painted with a brush containing plenty of moisture dries.
He was born in Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture in 1926. He worked for the post office for a while. However, he decided to pursue a career as a painter and then retired four years later. He gained a track record through the Japan Fine Arts Institute Exhibition winning the Arts Selection Newcomer Award in 1971, the Japan Fine Arts Institute Exhibition Minister of Education Award in 1975 and the Japan Art Academy Award in 1979.
