Mokumo Sensei and Cupid: Shigeru Aoki Library From the Museum Collection

Museum of Modern Art, Hayama
Finished
Calling himself a bibliophile and a lover of smoking, art historian Shigeru Aoki (1932–2021), a.k.a. "Mokumo Sensei," was a leading researcher of the Late-Edo Western-style painter Takahashi Yuichi (1828–1894). His collection of books, "Shigeru Aoki Library," which was acquired by the museum over many years, now numbers 10,000 volumes.

In addition to introducing valuable materials from the Meiji period from the "Shigeru Aoki Library," a major asset for future art history research, the exhibition will also feature the restored Cupid (artist unknown), a work formerly owned by Yuichi Takahashi and acquired in 2019, which was identified through Aoki's research, for the first time since its restoration.
