About the Item

An expressionist oil painting of a seaside view from a balcony in carved gilded frame. It is signed on the bottom right hand corner Aoyama. Signed Aoyama circa 1960s-1970s Frame measures 16 x 19 1/4 inches Painting measures 9 1/2 x 13 inches This painting is likely a scene from the French Riviera or Cote d'Azur. Yoshio Aoyama (Japanese, 1894-1996). He was a painter of nudes, landscapes, still-lifes, and flowers. Yoshio Aoyama started watercolor painting with the Japan Watercolorists Association. He went to France after World War I, where he studied with Matisse. He exhibited at the Salon d’Automne from 1921 to 1934 and the Salon des Indépendants from 1928 to 1930. Like Takanori Oguisu, he used a completely figurative Western technique to paint the French landscape. Aoyama has a totally different style of painting than his Japanese predecessors like the painter Fujita, following a different path, because instead of introducing recognizable Japanese elements into his work, Aoyama chose to use them in a subtle way all along of her career. He never wanted to give up their tradition, yet Aoyama was able to adapt to Western culture by becoming an important part of the history of French painting of the twentieth century, forming part of the School of Paris . One could say that in his painting there is an abstraction of a certain ideal transmitted by his ancestors, an ideal that manifests itself in the "joie de vivre" which is also present in painters like Pierre Bonnard , Raoul Dufy or his master Henri Matisse . The School of Paris, located in the bohemian quarter of Montmartre, could be considered a real artistic tower of Babel, where mixed styles as diverse as Cubism, Modernism, Futurism, Primitivism etc. but with common features like fascination for the exotic, colorful. So Aoyama came into close contact with the European avant garde. After his stay in Paris, he decided to move, for health reasons, to a warmer place, the capital of the French Riviera, Nice. Aoyama continued his painting, and it was at one of his exhibitions that he met Henri Matisse. Matisse, fascinated by his color, calmed calling Aoyama a marvelous colorist. Yoshio Aoyama became a disciple of the great French master. From 1926, his lessons with Matisse made a big change in the technique used. He began to create a new style full of originality, to recreate a fascinating and impressive world. Now, his figures will acquire the volume and the depth of the compositions. It gives them a sense of lyricism, poetry awash with a certain mystery that is still incomprehensible to the viewer. This change in Aoyama painting is being done gradually, in the precepts of Fauvism, leaving behind their Japanese tradition. Now, the colors pink and blue are a constant in his work. This step is still a step in forming a personal style.
