From the Artist’s Yankees Training collection of drawings and paintings ,1987-89. Here, 3 players wait while one goes to bat in the batting cage. This drawing is done on white French drawing paper. The artwork in this collection is done in oil & graphite on various papers, using the artist’s signature reportage style. All drawings & paintings in this collection were done on location at the Yankees Spring Training camp, Ft Lauderdale, 1987-89. The artist was originally invited to Spring Training by Dave Winfield, an art collector himself ,who admired her sumo artwork. There she met George Steinbrenner who also liked her artwork and asked her to keep drawing, planning to use the artwork in his magazine. Matsuoka documented Yankees Spring Training the following 2 years as well in her signature reportage drawings, returning each time from Tokyo where she was living at that time, working with the Traditional worlds of SUMO and KABUKI. Mr. Steinbrenner would declare her "my artist" to whomever he was with every time he walked past her on the field. He invited her to Yankee Stadium a number of times to meet with his magazine editor but they never used the drawings. They remain in Matsuoka’s personal collection.

ARTIST LYNN MATSUOKA DOCUMENTS CULTURE CNN reported: “Few artists so completely dominate their field that their name becomes synonymous with the subject matter, but Lynn Matsuoka has succeeded in capturing the essence of Sumo and has won a loyal following along the way.“Like Degas with his dancers, Lynn Matsuoka set out to depict the particular beauty of performers who devote their lives to an all-encompassing craft, capturing the nuances of the world they create in the process. Her own devotion was noted, and doors opened that had never been opened before, to anyone”. The Artist gained fame working with Sumo, Kabuki Theater, Bunraku, Geisha & Maiko (young Geisha) in Japan for more than 4 decades. A color commentator on the NHK TV worldwide Sumo broadcast for 15 years, she has acted as liaison/translator for NBC sports, Asia Society, President Carter & National Geographic Society, among others. This award winning artist has documented in drawings & paintings; Native Americans, Ballet, Equestrian Events, Hula, Major League Baseball, the NFL, and Broadway Theater. Matsuoka documented Watergate hearings for ABC & CBS before moving to Japan, the Naval Court of Enquiry into the Ehime Maru/Greenville disaster at Pearl Harbor in 2001 for all the networks in USA & Japan, and President Clinton & Bon Jovi for 911 Fundraisers. The Legendary Milton Glaser described Lynn Matsuoka as “probably the greatest living reportage artist”. Matsuoka’s first book “The Scent of Binsuke” was published in 1981. Matsuoka is the author of SAVING OUR SEABIRDS, an adult coloring book, http://bit.ly/SOSbirds and her upcoming Memoir, The Secret Worlds of Lynn Matsuoka The Artist Behind the Curtain. Commissions and Portraits are the Artist’s specialty.
