Shigeru Aoki, Shoji Sekine, Tsune Nakamura, Kaita Murayama, Yuzo Saeki, Ryusei Kishida, Syunsuke Matsumoto et al.
Looking back on the history of Japanese modern art, many young and talented painters produced excellent work but died young, such as Shigeru Aoki, Shoji Sekine, Tsune Nakamura, Kaita Murayama, Yuzo Saeki, Ryusei Kishida, and Syunsuke Matsumoto. In their short lives, these painters created new forms of expression that were not bound by authority or formality, and their names, along with the words they left behind, have left their mark on the history of modern Japanese art. Their work, which was born of their youthful energy as they faced their inner selves, has transcended time and continues to fascinate today.
The Meiji and Taisho eras, during which these young and brilliant painters were active, were a time of respect for individuality, affirmation of the self, and celebration of life. This exhibition introduces Takeji Fujishima and other painters who led their generation and explores the historical background of that period. The exhibition also introduces the "Nakamuraya Salon" run by Aizo Soma and Mr. and Mrs. Kuromitsu, where Tsune Nakamura, a painter from Mito City who celebrates the 135th anniversary of his birth this year, and Tsune's studio, "Ikebukuro Montparnasse", are also introduced.
