Basho's Haikus & other Series

The Basho Series tries to catch the feeling of old master Matsuo Basho´s haikus. Each painting is related to one of those short poems, interpreting their brief text on canvas, parting from their English translations by different writers, and working on images from our present scenery. So the task of the brush scarcely reveals a distant echo of the words of the Japanese seventeenth-century poet.

The Basho Series has been developped in the last 5 years and still is in the making. Though some items have been sold, it constitutes a whole to be exhibited and enjoyed together, at least 36 pictures and poems together. So, its most probable destiny is to be housed in an art institution. The other series, developped in the past decade, have been partially sold.

Basho Haikus. Four Fields. Spring.

The full moon kept me all night walking around the pond.
La luna llena me tuvo la noche entera alrededor del estanque.

Datos personales

Justo F. Isasi: JFI has been painting since his first university years, long before building, teaching, drawing, writing or any other professional commitments. His painting began rooted in the art courses and drawing skills learnt and developed at the university, to become soon an independent task and mostly a very private, if not a secret, one. Big or small pictures have been given to friends during the last decades, sold to many different customers, sometimes to be part of a substantial private collection, and purchased in a few cases by an industrial or financial company. One could say that the work has been done out of the necessity and pleasure of painting, as so many painters have done to satisfy themselves while reflecting about their world and interpreting the art of their time. Though there is a wide range of such artists, from the so- to -say therapeutic painters like Kirchner to those more curious and intimate like Carus, such profile seems nowadays outdated. But there is little worrying about not being a business painter expected to be mostly a market crack.
