Yamaguchi Prefectural Art Museum

Artists

Hiroshi Noda
Hiroshi Noda (b. 1936) is a top Japanese Realist painter. After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts he worked as an illustrator, but his desire to paint grew and he began to devote himself to painting in his mid-30s. After teaching in the Hiroshima City University Art Department, he moved to Hokkaido where he maintains a studio and continues to lead the world of Realist painting even after the age of 80.

This exhibition is a retrospective of Noda's career, from his early years to his recent works. It features art from his student days, when he was searching for his own style, as well as illustrations and designs from his time in advertising. Other displays include detailed still-life paintings such as "Black Age/Gold Age," when he made his debut in the art world, and original illustrations for the serialized newspaper novel "Marshland" (written by Otohiko Kaga), which made his name known nationwide. Noda has also painted bones and living human beings to show his view of life and death, as seen in the series "Tokijiku " and "The." Recent series include the life-size portraits of "Sacred" and "Sublime.” This exhibition traces the path of Realism that Noda has followed in his pursuit of the meaning of existence, unflinchingly gazing at and depicting his subjects, whether people, still lifes, or landscapes.
