Matazō Kayama (1927 - 2004)
“Matazō Kayama was a Japanese Nihonga painter of the 20th century, born in Kyoto in 1927. He was seen in Japanese art circles after World War II as the representative of a new Japanese style (Nihonga; see Japan, §VI, 5(iii)). Kayama’s early work reflected the depressed conditions following the defeat of Japan in the war. Taking animals as his subject-matter, he produced works that expressed the instability of human life.”
