A representative painter of the School of Paris 1887 - 1985年

With diverse and brilliant colors, he depicted the world of love between men and women, biblical stories, and myths as fairy tales. Landscapes and figures melt into color, and time and space merge in his paintings, creating an illusionary world of color and atmosphere. His works convey love for his wife and hometown, as well as a message seeking love and peace.
