Shigeo Anzai, Shintaro Yamashita, Gyokudo Kawai, Kotaro Takamura, Seison Maeda, Kenkichi Tomimoto et al.
In 1953, a year after the Bridgestone Museum of Art opened, it established its Film Committee. By 1964, eleven years later, the committee had completed seventeen films documenting artists at work in their ateliers and their daily lives. In addition, the museum has recently collected documentary photographs of artists by Shigeo Anzai (1939-2020). Anzai was a photographer who continued to chronicle the contemporary art scene from the end of World War II. Producing these films documenting artists and acquiring Anzai’s work are actions that can be seen as presenting the consistent approach of the Ishibashi Foundations toward archives of the arts. This exhibition presents Japanese contemporary art through the valuable art videos our Film Committee has produced, works by the artists in those films, and Anzai’s photographs.
