La profundidad de Velázquez y el humanismo trascendente de Unamuno: detonantes en la pintura de

Abstract

The article explains the keys  to Toshima Yasumasa’s artistic work, which revolves around two principal detonators: the deph of spanish painter, Diego de Velázquez, and the transcendent  humanism of the intellectual, Miguel de Unamuno. In them he found the meaning of eternity, his vocation for art and was able to forge, during his long stay en Spain, the connection established between his art and Velazquez’s painting, also between his works and Unamuno’s views, invaded by the ladscape and the existencial. Yasumasa’s painting includes the same realities treated by Unamuno: the symbolism and historical wake of cities, attachment to the land, ties of people, love of nature, religious sentiment and the search for the profound and sacred. Constants which will gradually be remembered in these pages.
