Abstract

You can be like me
But don't be me
Become Morio Matsui.

Pablo Picasso, a rare genius artist who continued to create art with overwhelming individuality.
The painter Morio Matsui, the author of this book, is truly one of the few painters recognized by Picasso. During the five years he spent with Picasso, he burned with passion and continued to pursue originality.
The country where Matsui moved to France at a young age and spent an eventful life is also a country where people of all ages understand the value of art.
The value is that art creates not only "impression" that shakes the heart, but also "money = business". France has a history of valuing individuality and individual intentions, and the continuous birth of new art.
On the other hand, there remains a deep-rooted tendency to neglect art and artists in Japan. It can also be viewed as doing so. However, as you know, Japan is a country full of nature, scenic beauty, culture and beauty. ``Japanese people born and raised in such an environment should believe in their sensibilities more and live boldly,'' says painter Matsui.
This book contains artist Matsui's thoughts on the essential art that is not usually reported by such media, and how to use art in business and life.
It is precisely because we live in an age when we tend to be caught up in worries about the immediate future and anxiety about the future that we hope that by reading this book, you will come into contact with real art thinking, gain the power to live boldly and positively, and live your brightest days. ing.
