艺术家森本宗介 （MORIMOTO Sosuke）人物肖像绘画，一生只画一个人的艺术执著！

森本草介 (1935-2015) - 日本艺术家。出生于全州市（现韩国全罗北道省的行政中心）的当时著名艺术家森本尼黑的家庭。1943 年，六岁的他随父亲移居日本，在岩手县的一关市居住，直到 1952 年移居东京。

1958年，这位未来的艺术家进入东京艺术大学美术学院油画系，1962年毕业。1963年在国界美术协会第37届展上首次展出，并立即获得一等奖。1976年，宗介前往法国学习欧洲绘画，尤其是古典肖像和风景技法。回国后，宗介开始了自己的工作，很快获得了广泛的认可。

在日本，森本宗介被认为是古典油画的先驱和新古典主义流派的公认大师。在他的创作生涯之初，他更喜欢画静物，在他的作品中尝试光、纹理和空间。然而，肖像画给艺术家带来了真正的认可。

经过漫长的寻找，1979 年，宗介找到了他的缪斯女神——一个出色的模特，他将随后的几乎所有肖像作品都献给了他，在这里，严谨、冷酷、忧郁甚至破坏性的女性美以东方魅力和欧洲魅力相结合的美学吸引着优雅。

Morimoto Sosuke / 森本草介 (1935-2015) - Japanese artist. Born in the city of Jeonju (now the administrative center of the Jeolla-buk-do province in South Korea) in the family of a well-known artist at that time,

Morimoto Nihei. In 1943, at the age of six, he emigrated with his father to Japan, to the city of Ichinoseki in Iwate Prefecture, where he lived until 1952, after which he moved to Tokyo.

In 1958, the future artist entered the oil painting department of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo Art University, from which he graduated in 1962. It was exhibited for the first time in 1963 at the 37th exhibition of the Kokugakai Art Association, where it immediately won the first prize.

In 1976, Sosuke traveled to France to study European painting, especially classical portrait and landscape techniques. Upon returning to his homeland, Sosuke took up his own work, quickly achieving wide recognition.

In Japan, Morimoto Sosuke is considered the pioneer of classical oil painting and a recognized master in the neoclassical genre. At the beginning of his creative career, he preferred to paint still lifes, experimenting with light, texture and space in his work.

However, portraiture brought real recognition to the artist. After a long search, in 1979, Sosuke found his muse - a wonderful model, to which he devoted almost all subsequent portrait works, where strict, cold, melancholic and even destructive female beauty attracts with the aesthetics of a combination of oriental charm and European elegance.
