Matsumi Kanemitsu (1922- 1992)

    “In his late years Mike saw his painting as a metaphor- equal and opposite- of the poetry, grandeur, tranquility, and life-threatening violent potential in the force of nature. He could not help agreeing with his friend, Jackson Pollock, that when he was IN his painting, working in a trance like state, he was nature itself.” 
— Gerald Nordland

    “To me, I want my work to be like life- everything that is different or opposite to be in balance, like yin and yang, negative and positive, day and night. I want to be just like sunshine, like moon.” 
— Matsumi Kanemitsu
