At Meguro Museum of Art
Media: Illustration, Film

Czech animation is highly acclaimed around the world. Here, even picture books are influenced by animation. This exhibition features approximately 200 original pictures and production materials from a formerly government-managed animation studio, and public museums in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Also shown are Czech picture books from the beginning of the 20th century to today through pictures and moving images. The exhibition asks us to reconsider the folk tales which inspire such stories, as well as avant-garde art movements and social satire in Eastern Europe, while also seeking the possibilities of art beyond the boundaries of 'picture books' and 'animation'. Some of the animation will be shown in Japan for the first time.

子供の頃ノートやチラシの裏に
たくさん絵を描いて、
わくわくした気持ちを思い出しました。

チェコといえば、人形アニメーションや
シュヴァンクマイエルで日本でも知られていますが、
いろいろ本の装丁、絵本を見ることができて、
何かのんびりした気持ちになれます。
ドイツでは旧東ドイツのものを懐かしみ、
「オスタルジー」なんて言葉がありますが、
それと同じかもしれませんね、
チェコの古いグラフィックを見てよいと思うのは。
今、周りに溢れるグラフィックは、
イラレやフォトショップを使ったのっぺりしたものが
多いですからね。

チェコアニメをこんなにたくさん見る機会は初めてで、ひたすらそのかわいさにうきうきした。チェコという国の特徴か、立地によるものか、そのアニメは他のヨーロッパ諸国のカラーとも微妙に違う雰囲気を出してた気がする。時間がなかったのでもっとじっくり見たかったな。
