life and work

Suda Hisashi was born in Tokyo in 1906 as the fourth son of Kadoi Morijirō, but later took the name Suda: they were a family member who had adopted him. Around the time he was finishing Seikei Middle School, he became interested in Western painting and decided to become a painter himself. He began his studies at the private Kawabata Art School (川端 画 学校, Kawabata Ga-gakkō) and then continued his studies at the Tōkyō Art School (東京 美術 学校, Tōkyō bijutsu gakkō). There he was first taught by Nagahara Kōtarō and then by Wada Eisaku . While he was still at the art college, in 1930 his picture submitted for the 11th Teiten exhibition entitled "„ 婦 "(Rafu, act) was accepted. He continued to exhibit with the Teiten, in 1941 he joined the artist group Sōgen-kai (創 会).

After the Pacific War , Suda initially stayed with the Sōgen-kai and won special recognition at the 3rd Nitten exhibition in 1948 for his picture "ア ヒ ル" (Ahiru, duck). The following year he left the Sōgen-kai and also withdrew from the Nitten. He then founded the artist association Rikki-kai (立 軌 会) together with seven colleagues, including Ushijima Noriyuki and Iijima Kazuji . He remained artistically active and showed his works, among other things, at the "日本 国際 美術展 覧 会" (Nihon kokusai bijtsu tenran-kai). In September 1954 he traveled to Europe for the first time and visited France, Italy and Spain, among others. From 1957 he taught at the Musashino Art School , where he was appointed professor in 1960. In 1973 he traveled to Europe again, mainly in Greece. In 1977 he was able to design a work exhibition with 85 pictures at the Tōkyo Central Art Museum, mainly with works from the pre-war period.

From around 1956, when Suda created the picture “牛 と 人” (Ushi to hito, cow and man), his own style crystallized. This was followed by “鶏 を 抱 く 少年” (Niwatori o daku shōnen, boy who strokes a chicken; 1969) and “白 い 蕾 の あ る 風景” (Shiroi tsubo no aru fūkei, landscape with a white vase; 1973), which were mental creations , realized in thickly applied colors.

In 2001 Suda was awarded the Nakamura Tsune Prize (中 村 彝 賞).
