7Are you ready for the weekdays starting from today?、It wasn't as crowded as I expected (photos are allowed)

Yesterday (May 6)、I went to the National Art Center, Nogizaka for the first time in a while.。The main purpose was to see the Kokugakai.、I was feeling good too、I went a little further and went to see Matisse's ``Free Form'' exhibition, which mainly featured paper cutting.。One more thing、I also saw a contemporary art exhibition called “Distant Present”.、This is quite different from the above two and is interesting.、I will not touch on it here.。

What do I feel is common to people who are called masters?、Everyone is serious about themselves.。From very early drawing practice、Until the end of writing、He really works hard towards what he wants to do.、I really feel it。
“Being serious about myself”、selfish、just do what you want to do、I feel like there needs to be some explanation between。“To myself” and the essence of painting、In other words、I believe、For both “historical flow of painting = mainstream”、It means "humble"。(Do you want to study?、(Whether it's intuition or not) requires historical insight.。I'm off topic, but、So-called modern art、Unless we take that into account、It becomes just a “derailment accident”。

Matisse is just an ordinary oil painting until the middle.、I'm studying by fleshing it out with regular shading.。But、Is that really the right way to express yourself?、I guess he was drawing it with doubts in mind.。many、While arranging chiaroscuro in your own way、I know you're looking for a way。That's already different from mediocre painters.。The purpose is not to become good.。

Eventually、It becomes clear that the shading method does not suit me (I try a different form of three-dimensional expression), but、It's because I tried various arrangements myself.、I guess I was able to come to the conclusion that it was no good.。If you rely on the advice of others、I'm lost、you can't do that。
If the shading expression doesn't match、All I have to do now is refine the expression of lines and colors.、Matisse, who was completely abandoned by shading,、From there, he quickly became a real Matisse.。serious、You're a hard worker, aren't you?。-I can't bear it always being so long.。

Sorry for the long time

I am writing for the first time in 3 months.。Today is Sunday、There's so much to do (and、Mostly “work”)、I woke up a little early、I'm feeling good so、I think I can do it for today.。

everyone、Long time no see。Some of you may be worried that you are not feeling well.。We apologize for the inconvenience.。Everyone、I'm sure you had a peaceful time.。Also、Thank you very much。

Impermanent and unintentional

I'm depressed all day、I didn't even have the energy to draw.。

I received word that another classmate had passed away.。1I hope I can be discharged from the hospital at the end of the month.、I was thinking、2Even after a month, I still couldn't come back.。always motivated、He was a person who tried new things.。81age。I sincerely wish for your soul to rest in peace.。I have an unfinished picture、When you get discharged from the hospital、While experiencing the final step、I was preparing with the intention of going to completion.。

Recently、Civil engineering work around me、Demolition work has become increasingly visible.。It may be a seasonal thing、A number not seen in recent years。something is、Is it starting to move?。

last year、I have completely withdrawn from group exhibitions held in Ginza, etc.、As I said before,、the flow of time and、Connecting impermanence、I need to paint a more honest picture of myself.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Although it is the destiny of a painting to show it to others,、Is it shared there?、You don't have to ask for sympathy.。Evaluation of pictures, etc.、It's not a good thing anyway (this year)、I'm going to be a judge for an exhibition.)。Even if I get praised、Even if I'm belittled、At most fifty paces or one hundred paces.。Don't be fooled by that、To draw as innocently as possible、I think this is the path to happiness.。I only know about paintings、to be selfless about what you like、I yearn to clarify myself。
