Dazai Osamu PaintingsDAZAI Osamu, “Self-Portrait” oil painting, circa 1947 DAZAI Osamu, “Landscape” oil painting, circa 1940 (picture source)“There are some people whose dread of human beings is so morbid that they reach a point where they yearn to see with their own eyes monsters of ever more horrible shapes. And the more nervous they are-the quicker to take fright-the more violent they pray that every storm will be … Painters who have had this mentality, after repeated wounds and intimidations at the hands of the apparitions called human beings, have often come to believe in phantasms-they plainly saw monsters in broad daylight, in the midst of nature. And they did not fob people off with clowning; they did their best to depict these monsters just as they had appeared. Takeichi was right: they had dared to paint pictures of devils.”- Dazai Osamu, No Longer Human -- source link
