When I started painting 2

Last time, I wrote about Mr. Kanazawa, who first taught me how to draw art. I learned some basic techniques from Mr. Kanazawa, while also learning on my own. At the time I did not have money to buy art books, so I borrowed a large number of art books from the prefectural library in Kuki to study them. If any of those art books had paints in them, they were probably the ones I borrowed.

To learn art, you need to master the pattern of the painter. This pattern is different for each artist. First of all, you have to copy the pattern in order to master it. We try to reproduce as faithfully as possible. The shape, the color, the touch and the surface of the painting.

After that, as I mastered various patterns, I was able to improve them. And eventually, you will be able to break away from the molds and create your own worldview.

It was around this time that I was looking for a way to create a mold. At the time, I came across a book titled "The Art School for Thieves" by Yutaka Sasaki in the Kuki library, and I saw it. When I read the book, it described the various artists who had recently been influencing the work of the landlord.

Inspired by this, I decided to go to Yokohama Station to learn from Yutaka Sasaki, who was teaching at the station building. He was a graduate of the oil painting department of the University of the Arts and worked as an assistant at the Tokyo University of the Arts, but he left there because it was too formal and conservative and went on to become a professor of art at Meisei University, which had a more liberal school culture. To be continued.

Interview 1-1: The texture of masterpieces and contemporary works

This is a interview made in September 2020. The interviewer is Mr. Uchida Atsushi, who studied brain science in Keiko University in Tokyo. Takuma and Uchida are the friends from high school

Hi Takuma. Today I want you to talk about art.

-Ok…. so do you have something to start with?

Well, how do you think about your works as interior?

-As for interior, I think what is the most important is not to bored people.What attract the audience is little texture on surface. Oil painting is good example.

I see.

-Digital images or printings are too plane. It’s like Udon (Japanese pasta). Taste nice , but not to every day.

So what is important is the misalignment from the norm. Without it, the painting has no attraction.

-Yes, that is what I want to say. Is the all works looks same, it’s not interesting at all. If there is some difference, it will be good. When you see the works of Rembrandt van Rijn, it’s much smaller than what you expected. It’s out of order. It is the difference from amateur.

Is it the same for other classical masters?

-Yes, but especially for Rembrandt . He is great.

-Talking about contemporary art, there are much more plane works, different from master pieces.

That’s interesting. In context of contemporary art, planeness doesn’t matter with there evaluation?

-For example, Wahole ‘s work is plane. But what he did whas not. It had a texture and historical meaning.

I understand. It is true that contemporary art has much importance
