one of the works in his postwar series of paintings portraying mother and child. The two figures, looming out of the dark, many-layered matiere, convey the woes of the common people living in the general confusion and poverty of postwar Japan. The impression is given by the weak contrast between the background and the figures, which goes against the rules of the chiaroscuro, and by the expression of mass with planes instead of lines. In the 1960s, Aso abandoned this style and started to produce works in a more abstract strain, in which distorted human figures and masses of flesh are presented as part of the background with a dark and vague matière.
