Kazuo Shiraga
Kazuo Shiraga (1924-2008) was an abstract painter associated with the city of Amagasaki. In 1955, he joined the avant-garde art group "Gutai Art Association" (Gutai) and remained one of its core members until its dissolution in 1972. Shiraga participated in numerous international art festivals and Gutai exhibitions in the U.S., Italy, the Netherlands, France, and other cities, attracting attention along with other Gutai members.
In 1957, the French critic Michel Tapie visited Osaka and had an exchange with Shiraga, which led to a contract to send Shiraga's work to Europe the following year. Since then, much of his work has crossed the seas and some of which is now in the collections of museums in Japan and abroad.
This exhibition will display one of his representative works from the "Suikoden Goketsu Series", as well as show the distribution of his work in museums in Japan and abroad. In addition, the exhibition also looks back on the exhibitions of the time and the relationship between the work and traditional Japanese culture through photographs and other materials.
