Ryusei Kishida
Inspired by van Gough and Cezanne, Ryusei Kishida (1891-1929) started painting as a means of self-expression. But his style soon changed to classical representation, making landscape, still life, and portrait paintings. This shift occurred around the same time period when he was intensively working on portraits of his friends, alongside his self-portraits. The more he explored a means of self-expression, the more he became interested in "others." His portraits reflected the idea of identity in modern times.
Kishida also continuously worked on portraits of his daughter Reiko. He said "nothing is more interesting than the human face for a painter," defining his aesthetic interest. Commemorating the 80th anniversary of his passing, this exhibition showcases 80 portraits and self-portraits of Kishida, focusing on his exploration into representational painting.
