Toshi Maruki
Toshi Maruki (1912–2000) was born Toshiko Akamatsu on February 11, 1912 in Chichibetsu, Hokkaido. This year marks the 110th anniversary of her birth. In December 2021, a woman living in Ichikawa, Chiba donated an oil painting to the museum. The woman's mother-in-law was a teacher at Ichikawa Municipal Elementary School and a colleague of Maruki. This oil painting, "Mother and Child," is thought to have been exhibited at the 13th Nikkai Exhibition in January 1936. At that time, Maruki was struggling to balance her desire to become a painter with her work as a teacher. Eventually, she resigned from her teaching position, and after two stays in Moscow and a trip to the South Sea Islands, her talent blossomed as a "female painter" who would pave the way to a new era.
This exhibition presents 13 portraits from the 1930s to the 1940s. Enjoy the fresh expressions and gaze toward human beings that reveal the process of Toshi Maruki's growth before she began work on "The Atomic Bomb," a painting created with her husband Iri Maruki.
