Archives Exhibition 2020 Remembering the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum’s Original Building

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum was built by a businessman from Kitakyushu, Keitaro Sato, who donated 1 million yen (currently equivalent to about 3.2 billion yen) and opened on May 1, 1926 (Taisho 15).

The building, which was called the “Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum” at that time, was designed by Shinichiro Okada and built in the modern classical style. Befitting the “Beauty Hall of Fame”, the majestic building with colonnades became the setting for numerous exhibitions and a place for people’s creative activities and exchanges.

In this exhibition, through the archives materials held by the museum, Japan was born in Ueno, following the steps from the construction of the old building to the end of its role with the construction of the new building (currently the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum) in 1975. I would like to take this opportunity to think about the appearance of the first public museum.

Date: October 6th (Tuesday) -December 6th (Sunday), 2020 No advance reservation required ・ Free viewing <br /> Venue: Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum Keitaro Sato Memorial Art Lounge (Central Building 1st floor)

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (Ueno Park, Tokyo) will hold the “70 Years After Death Hiroshi Yoshida Exhibition” from January 26th (Tuesday) to March 28th (Sunday), 2021.

 

 

Born in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950) worked on Western-style painting from a young age and established his own expression and technique while experiencing East and West art through many overseas experiences.

With the view of nature that he learned by entering the Miyama Yuya and the high technology that surprised Western experts, he delicately portrayed the flow of water and the transition of light.

This exhibition, which will be held at the 70th anniversary of the painter’s death, will bring together representative woodblock prints from the earliest days, as well as display woodblock prints and sketchbooks. Introducing the whole picture of Hiroshi Yoshida’s woodblock prints, which aimed at integrating print techniques.

■ Artist introduction

Shinichi Sawada

Sawada creates symbolic ceramic art objects that look like fictional animals and humans. Although strange in form, they are strange creatures that look somewhat humorous.
The innumerable thorns that cover the surface create a unique world, and the work has a charm that you cannot forget once you see it.
Depending on how you look, the spine-like protrusions look like sensors that sense the world, and they also appear to be covered by body hair that protects you.
Initially, it started with the creation of a small animal-like object that could be grasped, but eventually it grew in size and developed into a sculptural work in a fantasy form that recalled primitive humans and animals. I went.

Sawada quietly continues to produce in a kiln in the mountains of Ritto City, Shiga Prefecture.

Kishaba Moriya

Kishaba Moriya has created a dot series that focuses on the bleeding of ink, after producing works in which the letters and letters are written on one side of the paper and works in which shapes such as bells and squares are drawn in series.
This series always starts by hitting the blue circle in the lower left corner.
This circle is slightly larger than the others because the pen tip is in contact with the paper for a long time.
After the first spot, it seems that he is improvising on the color selection of the dots, but it is unavoidable that he has his own production system because there is no color bias on the screen.
In the new “Dot Series” drawn with colored pencils, the swell of colors creates a mysterious landscape.

Imura Momoka 

Creates a round object made of cloth. There are various sizes, from the size to be put on the hand to the size suitable for holding.
It does not have a concrete image, but it is reminiscent of a pet animal or a stuffed animal.
We don’t make big ones from the beginning, but we make small ones to big ones as we grow the objects one by one.
I like pink, so when I arrive at the studio, I wear a pink wig first, and when I’m done with my wig, take off the wig and go home.
Sometimes, I make it by singing, dancing and moving.

Hironobu Matsumoto

There are works of all sizes, from large ones over 3 meters to sketchbook-sized ones, all of which are rich in color, and the details are composed by clear images, and every corner is filled with them to create a story. I am configuring. As you approach the work, you can enjoy the fun of reading it.
The subjects to be dealt with range from large-scale ones such as space and historical battles to minute ones such as fog and bacteria and white blood cells. Regardless of the scale of the subject matter, they all form a kind of world. It can be said that they are introduced through the work, and it became a motivation for the production that the interest in “riddle” such as what kind of law and rule formed and systematized the world was established. There is.

■Overview of the exhibition

Special exhibition “Art as it is-people who continue to express without knowing-“

Introducing the works of artists who are directly involved in their artistic urges, without being influenced by specific cultures or art trends.
The world of “art as it is” attracting worldwide attention has been explored for a wide range of “views of humanity” through about 200 works by 25 artists who have been attracting attention both in Japan and overseas in recent years. Think about what is “richness”.

The Ueno Royal Museum

Under the theme of “everyday, everyday life”, I would like to see it at this time of the year.
A work that touches the heart is picked up from the works of The Ueno Royal Museum! 

Our consciousness and society are fundamentally changing due to the infection problem of the new coronavirus, which started in earnest in Japan this February. Under the subsequent declaration of an emergency, restrictions on behavior that were unthinkable until now–requiring to stay as close to people as possible, not to meet, not to meet, not to go out or to go out, and to spend more time at home Now, we have to reconsider the everyday life that everyone used to take for granted.

The Ueno Royal Museum holds a number of winning works from The Ueno Royal Museum Grand Prize Exhibition, which has been held 38 times since 1983.
This time, from this, I would like to see the theme of “everyday, everyday life”
I chose about 80 works I thought.

We make up a group of things that make us feel bright and happy, calm everyday scenes, towns and natures that are always there, and unique imaginations and thoughts from familiar people and landscapes. ..

At the venue, about 40 items from the <diary> series in which print artist Tetsuya Noda recorded family and everyday fragments from the same collection, and works created with Sayaka Akiyama as the subject of Ueno Park will be exhibited. ..
In the simple and straightforward gaze for the everyday life that artists are familiar with, I suppose we can find something important that touches our hearts today.

Main exhibits
・Approximately 80 points from works (oil paintings, Japanese paintings, etc.) winning the Ueno Royal Museum Grand Prize Exhibition
・Approximately 40 works by Tetsuya Noda (prints).
・Sayaka Akiyama “Walk my basic form Ueno Park” 25th December 2008, 3rd April 7, 7th, 14th, 12th May, 16th May”
*Size notation: F100=162.1×130.3 cm S100=162.1×162.1 cm

Kaho Kasuga 「It’s miserable and delicious.」

Oil F100 2020

The feeling of guilt and disgust for greed, as well as the exhilarating refreshing feeling that exists at the same time, have an impact with a photographically extreme three-point perspective. A scene that makes you feel lonely, a bold cut that makes you grasp it and a cool depiction give a strong impression.

Sanae Fujiwara 「Picnic」

Japanese painting F100 2020

It depicts a fun time out with the family.
It seems that the busy time is still continuing, with the dented feeling that people who have been there up to now standing up.
Bright colors with a sense of rhythm excite me.

Mika Chiba 「Mysterious」

Oil F100 2017

It successfully captures the effect created by the irregular reflection of the light entering the water surface.
Most of the woman’s body is in clear water, and the delicate light expresses the feeling of coolness and floating.

Akihiro Togashi 「FORM, Little Bird」

Acrylic, water-based paint, etc. S100 2000

A large tree-like object is drawn in the center, and animals and birds are drawn around it. There are a variety of materials and techniques, and I use a free technique to sew cloth on the screen, use buttons and paint, and create a flexible screen.

[Special Exhibition] Tetsuya Noda Prints <diary> series

There is a display change.
First semester: July 23 (Thurs./holiday) to August 10 (Mon./holiday)
Second semester: Wednesday, August 12-Sunday, August 30

Under the theme of “everyday, everyday life”, this exhibition features Tetsuya Noda, one of Japan’s leading printmakers,’diary’ series.

The <Diary> series, which deals with the scenery around us and our family, is Noda’s life work that continues from 1968 to the present. In this exhibition, about 40 points are divided into about 40 points from the works of the 1970s and 1980s owned by this museum. Will be on display.

Based on photographs taken by himself, woodcuts, silk screens, and other works that create images of families, vegetables and fruits, shopping bags, sofas, views from the car window, and other things that make you imagine your daily life and events. It is spelled out plainly.

While sticking to the extremely personal subject of the writer’s own daily life, they may have the universality that anyone can share only in the “nothing, everywhere” scene.
