Spring: Picturesque Kyoto
April 29 (Fri.) －July 10 (Sun.), 2022Ikeda Yoson, Nanzenji Temple, Kyoto, 1926 Collection of the museum Kyoto has long been the center of Japanese culture and has its own unique character in terms of scenery, climate and customs, which have been preserved and nurtured by the inhabitants of Kyoto. This culture can also be observed in paintings, and the fascinating image of Kyoto has been conveyed in various painters’ works, from Rakuchū Rakugai Zu in ancient times through to the modern and contemporary period. Comprising timeless depictions of temples and shrines, nature, cityscapes undergoing modernization, and an ambience that remains today, this exhibition will introduce “Picturesque Kyoto” through the Museum Collection.

Kitawaki Noboru, For a Sleepless Night, 1937 Collection of the museum Last year, the Museum received a bulk donation of Western art from a private collection. In particular, the collection of Western prints covers the period from Goya and Hogarth to the 20th century. This special exhibition will introduce a group of works made at the end of the 19th century, including works of Symbolism particularly rich in content, Surrealism, and art from the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. In addition, the exhibition will introduce works from the 1930s by Kyoto-based Western-style painters Noboru Kitawaki and Gentaro Komaki, who were devoted to Surrealism, and seek to trace the “genealogy of fantasy” from the end of the 19th century to the postwar period.

Onagi Yoichi, Lungs and Kidneys, 1975 Collection of the museum Can we see our entire “body” at any one time? This would become difficult if we include invisible parts such as the inside of the body. There is a notion that humans form a single image of their physical frame by connecting the “body” that we perceive in fragments. In this exhibition, in addition to newly acquired works by Yoichi Onagi, who has created parts of the “body” in vivid colors and on bold scales, Miran Fukuda’s Who’s Sleeve (2015) and other works will be introduced. Through these artworks, the “body” that we so casually interact with in our daily lives will be reexamined.

Tsuchida Bakusen, Korean Bench, 1933 From the late Meiji Period onward, many Japanese and Western-style paintings featured East Asian themes, such as landscapes and figures from China and Korea. This can be attributed to the fact that many Japanese painters went to China to study in the modern era, as well as to Japan’s active expansion into Asia. Information on East Asian antiquities also became more widely available, and the region became the focus of attention as the origin of Japanese art. Featuring Japanese and Western paintings from Kyoto based on the theme of East Asia, the winter exhibition will explore the gaze of modern Japanese artists toward East Asia.
