TAB Event - Takanori Kinoshita Exhibition

This event has ended.
At Yokohama Museum Of Art
Media: Painting

This exhibition takes a retrospective look back at the work of Takanori Kinoshita, a yo-ga (Japanese Western-style painting) artist who captured the elegance of the late Taisho and early Showa eras. This is the first such exhibition of a late Taisho/early Showa yoga artist mounted by the museum.
During the late Taisho era, Kinoshita was admitted to the Nikakai and thereafter studied painting at the Ecole de Paris. Influenced primarily by Manet, Courbet, Vlaminck and Matisse, Kinoshita began to develop his own artistic idiom. After returning to Japan, he began to exhibit the results of this stint at the Nikakai and the Shunyokai exhibitions. Not content with absorbing late Impressionism, he began to incorporate elements from proletarian art movements and Surrealism into his work as well.
In 1930 he founded the "1930 Association" together with Hiroshi Maeda, Yuzo Sa, Shozo Satomi and Zentaro Kojima, in order to further the spirit and individualism propagated by the Ecole de Paris.
