Watercolor by Nagao USUI: view of the port of Honfleur, sailboats, 1971
dimensions: 36 cm x 30 cm
Enthusiastic about Western painting, Nagao USUI discovered the southern light in the works of his masters and he quickly set up his easel in Provence, where he painted the landscapes dear to Paul CEZANNE on the motif. Further south, the Var coastline also inspires him: Saint-Tropez and its port, the Marines of Cogolin... This is how he gives us, in luminous, vibrant and sensitive canvases, all the poetry of a Provençal farmhouse, a country house buried in the vineyards or a marina with its sailboats. Nagao USUI also painted very beautiful landscapes of Burgundy, Paris and Ile-de-France.
Alongside his paintings on canvas, Nagao USUI has produced works on paper of great diversity: paintings, drawings, gouaches, watercolors and pastels retrace the journey of this Franco-Japanese artist, from the beginnings with the models posing at the workshop until the years of maturity, with the landscapes of Provence.
