Fuyuko Matsui
The title, Becoming Friends with All the Children in the World, concerns a mad idea, impossible to achieve, that I remember firmly believing in as an infant. Although a conviction, equivalent to a delusion of grandeur, that presupposes omnipotent powers, I still apply it as an incantation to quiet my psychic distress, words that touch my heartstrings.
Yokohama Museum of Art held the exhibition “NIHONGA Painting: Six Provocative Artists” in 2006. Matsui was one of these “provocative artists” who have found new values and approaches to artistic creation in the esthetic thinking, subjects, styles and techniques inherited from classical Japanese painting that were lost or discarded in the process of developing Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) during the period of modernization.
