Masanosuke Onuki
A woman standing alone in a bewitching form. Her magic and motherhood, her loneliness and anxiety, and her life and death. The smiling faces in the paintings are sensual, and at the same time, depict the human psyche. These are all works by Masanosuke Onuki (1925-1988), who stands out among the approximately 5,300 works in the museum's collection.
Born in 1925 in Kyobashi Ward, Tokyo (now Chuo-ku, Tokyo), Onuki was a prodigious painter who pursued a unique image of women and lived through the turbulent Showa period using only his paintbrush. This exhibition will present a comprehensive overview of Onuki's career, from his prewar drawings and family portraits to his large postwar works and the establishment of the female image that has become synonymous with his work, all of which have been collected in recent years.
This exhibition was prompted by the "Masanosuke Onuki: Testimony of a Lifetime" exhibition held at the Tamashin Museum of Art and History in 2017, in which works were donated by people with ties to the artist. The museum now owns approximately 300 works from his early to late years, including some of Onuki's best-known works.
First Period: December 3 (Sat) - January 29 (Sun)
Second Period: February 4 (Sat) - March 26 (Sun)
