About Matsuo Toshio

Matsuo Toshio was born in Nagasaki Prefecture in1926, and grew up in Tokyo. As his older brothers were all fond of painting, he began to painting.
At age of seventeen, he became the pupil of Katayama Nanpu, and played an active part with the Inten exhibition as the main stage.
He presented a style to be called "the dark emotions" that featured the theme of death and uneasiness in the early days, but his artwork increased peacefulness from the time in 1973 and entered the world of the painting of flowers and birds naturally. The picture of the peony catches in particular the high evaluation.
