I was attracted to art when I was young and studied it at university, but looking back, it was only the Impressionists that were truly wonderful in the history of art, and even if Fauvism was a completed form, it was abstract. Since the advent of art, the author(painter, creator)'s passion has gradually come to the fore, and I think it has become difficult for viewers to relax. I think the subjectivity was too strong and it came out too much.

Now, even if you look at the ceramic art of Rosanjin Kitaoji, you can find easily that he competed with Picasso in the sense that it is the ultimate expression of the author's ego since modern times. However, the reason why Warhol was exchanged at the highest price in the history of 20th century art may be that he once pushed out the ego, which was strong until Picasso, and presented the media itself. It's a translation that dispelled his own  passion. Rosanjin and Picasso are the arts of the ego's heyday.

Even with American landscapes, Georgia O'Keeffe paintings are fascinating and the colors are subdued, but the abstract impulsive feelings are still too exposed. In that respect, Edward Hopper landscape paintings suppress subjectivity and make the vision as simple as possible. It's a job to appeal to. I am attracted to it. I'm tired of my seductively made passion with external factor. I'm exhausted around appreciating for being crazy about ego.
