Prior to the opening, official supporter Jun Kaname visited the event, "I was overwhelmed by the power of the work I was looking forward to."
On July 23rd (Sat), the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum opened the "Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Exhibition: Art and Power".
This exhibition, which will be held two years after the original schedule, introduces about 60 works created in various regions such as Egypt, Europe, India, China, and Japan.
In addition, Kibi Minister Illustrated Tang Dynasty Scroll, which is said to be a national treasure in Japan, and Heiji Monogatari Emaki Sanjoden Night Raid Scroll, will return to their homes for the first time in about 10 years for this exhibition, and will be exhibited together. In addition, “Peacock”, a representative work by Sessai Masuyama, who was the lord of the Nagashima Domain in Ise during the Edo period, will be exhibited for the first time in Japan after being restored for this exhibition.
Prior to the opening, actor Jun Kaname, an official supporter, visited and appreciated the exhibition.
・《Illustrated scroll of Kibi Minister entering China》
Mr. Kaname, who slowly enjoyed the four picture scrolls, said, "The color balance is really good," and there was also a scene where he brought his face closer to the case and peered into it with great interest. "It's powerful, and the details that can't be conveyed in a photograph are amazing. Not one person in the drawing has the same expression. I can feel the talent of the person who drew the work," he said. In the Go scene (the scene where he swallows Go stones and cheats), he seems to laugh at the comical depiction.
・Sessai Masuyama 《Peacock》
The moment he saw the work, he said, "Wow, this is amazing. It's completely different from the photo. The wings are so fine. It's really amazing."
“Personally, I was most looking forward to this work, but when I actually saw it, I was overwhelmed by its power. It's full of."

Sessai Masuyama, Peacock, Edo period, 1801, Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
This exhibition was planned for 2020, the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, but was forced to be postponed due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
The “Boston Museum of Fine Arts Exhibition: Art x Power” opened on July 23rd.
Exhibition hall entrance. A huge portrait symbolizing power greets visitors
From Saturday, July 23, 2022 to Sunday, October 2, 2022, the “Boston Museum of Fine Arts Exhibition Art x Power” is being held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
Egypt, Europe, India, Japan… The warp thread running through the approximately 60 artworks collected from various regions in this exhibition is “authority” and “power”.
Many people today have an image that art is “anti-authority” and “anti-authority”. But historically, the two are closely related.
Powerful people in all ages and countries have used the power of art to maintain their power, decorate their courts, and demonstrate their legitimacy.
As a result, the excellent works of art created by the top painters and craftsmen of the times by those in power continue to fascinate us even today.
Focusing on the relationship between “art and power,” this exhibition presents carefully selected works from the encyclopedic collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Focus on the social role that works of art have played since ancient times.
A majestic collection of beauty loved by those in power
《Relief of the God of Horus》 Egypt (El Risht, excavated from Senusret I Burial Hall), Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, during the reign of Senusret I (1971-1926 BC) Museum of Fine Arts, BostonA folding screen showing the transfer of Emperor Kokaku (1771-1840) from the temporary palace to the new palace (Shukei Yoshimura, Edo period, Kansei 2-7) Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, BostonJahangir’s ambassadors Khan Alam and Shah Abbas (From “Late Album of Shah Jahan”) (Probably Vishandas, Northern India, Mughal Empire, c.1620) Museum of Fine Arts, BostonFrom the exhibition scenery. The front of the screen is “Guitar (Kitara Battente)” (Jacopo Mosca Cavelli, Italy, 1725) Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It is a rare item strung with metal strings and decorated with the most prized natural materials of the time, such as ivory and tortoiseshell.Anthony van Dyck, Princess Mary, Daughter of Charles I (c. 1637) Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Throughout history, works of art have played a variety of roles, not just for viewing.
For example, the portrait of Princess Mary painted by Van Dyck is splendid, expressing the texture of the fabric of the dress, the elegance of the hand, and the sparkle of the innocent eyes. Or there was an important “role” to advance.
Natsuko Ohashi, curator in charge
“An exhibition that highlights the power of the powerful in each era through art and follows how each work has been used to demonstrate that power. I want you
and the significance of holding this exhibition.
Heiji Monogatari Picture Scroll Sanjoden Night Raid Scroll (detail) (Kamakura period, late 13th century)Goshirakawain is kidnapped by Yoshitomo’s army. Its figure is hidden behind the bamboo blinds and is not depicted.
This exhibition consists of five chapters. Each chapter focuses on the relationship between power and art from various angles, but it is also interesting to pay attention to the differences depending on the era and regional characteristics.
For example , in the Portrait of Napoleon I in Coronation Dress , displayed at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Napoleon is depicted in a simple and dignified manner with a gold laurel wreath and an eagle-tipped scepter. ing.
However, in the Heiji Monogatari Emaki Sanjoden Night Raid Scroll , the existence of the emperor is hidden behind the bamboo blinds, and is not shown overtly in accordance with the tradition of Japanese art. Just as regalia such as Kusanagi no Tsurugi and Yata no Kagami are never seen by the public, “authority” is a hidden existence in Japan.
El Greco, Saint Dominic Praying (c. 1605) Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Since ancient times, it has been supernatural and religious concepts such as ‘God’ and ‘Heaven’ that give ‘approval’ to authority and power. A chapter titled “Sacred Worlds” presents religious artworks produced by those in power who have become “God’s Agents.”
In addition to statues of the Madonna and Child and Tathagata statues, many statues of monks, saints, and earthly figures with strong ties to the spiritual world were created, and El Greco’s “St. Dominic Praying” is one of them. A very private moment of devotion by St. Dominic, who founded the Order of the Preachers, known as the Dominican Order, is depicted in powerful strokes.
Produced for Oscar Hyman and Marcus, Marjorie Merriweather Post Brooch (1929) Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The palace is one of the direct and symbolic representations of authority and power. It can be said that many of the works of art displayed in this exhibition are deeply connected to the formal ceremonies and social customs of these palaces and courts.
In particular, costumes and accessories are decisive in conveying the power and status of the individual who wears them.
“Marjorie Meriweather Post Brooch” was purchased by Marjorie Meriweather Post from Manhattan’s Marcus Company when she had an audience with King George V and Queen Mary of England. Adorned with platinum and diamonds, the 60-carat emerald set in the center sparkles.
Although this brooch was never used for the audience, it is said that it continued to be treasured as a treasure in Post’s jewelry collection.
A national treasure in Japan? ! Famous Treasures Returned Home
Kibi Minister’s Entering Tang Emaki (detail) (late Heian period – early Kamakura period, end of 12th century) Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, BostonThe exhibition space is U-shaped for the large picture scrolls.Scene of Kibi Makibi and Tojin Go game from “Kibi Minister’s Entering Tang Emaki” (part) (Late Heian period – Early Kamakura period end of the 12th century)
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the United States is called the “Eastern Art Hall of Fame” and has collected more than 100,000 works of Japanese art for over 100 years, beginning with Ernest Fenollosa and Tenshin Okakura. Among the vast collection, Kibi Daijin iri Tang Emaki , which stands out, is a valuable work that is said to be a national treasure in Japan, along with the previously introduced Heiji Monogatari Emaki Sanjoden Night Attack Scroll .
The two major picture scrolls are exhibited together, giving off a presence that can be called the highlight of this exhibition.
“Kibi Daijin Nyuu Emaki” is a story about Kibi Makibi, who has crossed the sea as an envoy to Tang Dynasty, and solves many difficult problems with the help of Nakamaro Abe, who has turned into a demon. Due to its large size, the room is displayed in a U-shape. It has been protected and handed down from generation to generation by temples and shrines and powerful families, but due to social changes from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period, it was leaked to the market. For a long time there was no buyer, but eventually it was purchased by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1932.
This work has become a “phantom national treasure”. It would be interesting to think about the strange fate that this emakimono followed when viewing it.
Sessai Masuyama, Peacock, Edo period, 1801, Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The final piece of this exhibition is Peacock, which depicts a charming peacock on the left and right sides.
The painter Sessai Masuyama, whose name was Masataka, was a feudal lord who ruled the Ise-Nagashima domain (present-day Nagashima-cho, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture) in the mid-Edo period. He protected many painters and intellectuals, and even produced many paintings and calligraphy himself.
“Peacock”, which was restored for this exhibition and returned home for the first time, is a theme Sessai worked on many times, and boasts a high quality that can be said to be a representative work.

Balance and gradient woven by power and art in different places and different times.
Those in power have used the power of art to showcase themselves and lend mythic legitimacy to the stories they depend on. However, what is shown in this exhibition is not just the appearance of art that is subordinate to authority.
Art hides within it a “power” that surpasses the “power” of the world, and moves not only people’s hearts, but sometimes even the world. When I look at the many treasures that have been collected, such a thought sprouts in my heart.
After being postponed for a while, the long-awaited opening of this exhibition is finally here. We hope that you will be able to see it directly at the venue.

A special exhibition "Finn Juhl and the Danish Chair" will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, introducing the history and transition of Danish furniture design, focusing on the works of Finn Juhl, a Danish designer known as a "furniture sculptor." It started on July 23, 2022.
Since I participated in the press preview held earlier, I will report the state of the venue.
An exhibition focusing on "chairs" that support everyday life
Scenery of the venue
In Denmark, a Scandinavian country known as a design powerhouse, the value of hygge, which means "comfortable and enjoyable time", has taken root in lifestyles, and simple comfort has been pursued in furniture design. rice field.
In particular, from the 1940s to the 1960s, Denmark entered a golden age when many outstanding pieces of furniture appeared in history. Finn Juhl (1912-1989) is one of the representative designers of this golden age.
The furniture he creates not only fits comfortably on the body, but also stands out for its modern design featuring graceful curves and the beauty of its details, like a work of art. increase.
Scenery of the venueScenery of the venue
The exhibition "Finn Juhl and Danish Chairs" traces the history and transition of furniture design centered on Danish chairs with a wide variety of examples, while approaching the charm of Finn Juhl's design.
At the end of the exhibition, there is also a special corner where you can actually experience Danish designed chairs.
Many of the exhibits are from the world-famous "Oda Collection" owned by Higashikawa-cho, Hokkaido. Kenji Oda (Professor Emeritus, Tokai University), one of the academic collaborators of this exhibition and a chair researcher, has collected furniture and daily necessities from the 20th century as research materials for many years. Is this the first opportunity for you?
Chapter 1 “The Danish Chair ─ Background of its design”
This exhibition consists of three chapters, from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3.
Chapter 1 Installation view
Chapter 1, "The Danish Chair," begins with an introduction to the 1930 Stockholm Exposition, which gave young Danish architects and designers a chance to come into contact with the modernist movement, which advocated rationalism and functionalism that swept Europe. increase.
He led the Danish modernism movement, which sought to open up design to the general public while inheriting traditional furniture-making techniques. Koa Klint (1888-1954) is known as the father of modern Danish furniture design .
Founding of the Furniture Department of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts , where he served as the first professor and is said to have had the greatest impact on the development of Danish furniture design.
The existence of the furniture craftsmen's association that efficiently trained furniture craftsmen and frequently held exhibitions to appeal the high level of technology.
Along with various materials such as photographs, posters, publications, and videos, we carefully look back on the background of the creation of Danish masterpiece furniture that is loved all over the world.
In addition to Kohr Clint, Ole Wanscher, who became the second professor of the furniture department at the Royal Academy of Arts , Børge Mogensen , who designed functional furniture without superfluous decorations for the general public, and his deep knowledge of wood. You can see a wide variety of chairs by famous designers such as Hans J. Wegner, who created masterpiece furniture one after another with his knowledge and outstanding craftsmanship.
Børge Mogensen, Hunting Chair, 1950, Oda Collection (Higashikawa-cho) / Mogensen's masterpiece, said to be a phantom masterpiece.
Chairs consist of a simple basic structure consisting of a seat, back, and legs, but some of them include Helge Vestgaard Jensen's "Racquet Chair," which uses strings stretched over a tennis racket, and Werner's ice cream cone-shaped chair.・There is a wide variety of slightly eccentric designs, such as Pantone's "Cone Chair" and Grete Jalk's "Plywood Chair" that looks like it is made of origami.
However, even if it is eccentric, it does not have a gorgeous impression, and it has a calm atmosphere common to Danish design.
Helge Vestgaard Jensen, Racket Chair, 1955, Oda Collection (Higashikawa)
In the same chapter, you will find an amazing variety of thoughts and ideas during the golden age of Danish furniture design.
Chapter 2 "The World of Finn Juhl"
Many of the furniture designers of the time were students of Koor Klint or from furniture workshops.
On the other hand, Finn Juhl entered the Royal Academy of Arts in 1930 to study architecture on the recommendation of his father, even though he aspired to be an art historian. He studied furniture design on his own while working in building and interior design at an architectural firm.
Chapter 2 Installation view
Chapter 2, "The World of Finn Juhl," begins with early architectural drawings by Finn Juhl, an architect, interior designer, and furniture designer.
In the latter half of the 1930s, he collaborated with the excellent cabinetmaker Niels Votterto explore unique forms.
The design of his own house (Finn Juhl House), which was built in 1942 in northern Copenhagen and became his life's workplace.
Since 1950, Finn Juhl's wide-ranging work has been recognized internationally, from the interior design of the United Nations Headquarters in New York to the design of the offices of Swedish Scandinavian Airlines and passenger aircraft cabins. Introducing the whole picture.
(Right) Mogens Volteren, Copenhagen Chair, 1936, Oda Collection (Higashikawa-cho) / Produced by Niels Votter. It is said that Finn Yule met Votter through this work.Finn Juhl, Easy Chair No.45, 1945, Oda Collection (Higashikawa Town)Finn Juhl, Chieftain Chair, 1949, Oda Collection (Higashikawa)
Described as "sculpture-like", Finn Juhl's work is heavily influenced by the forms and underlying aesthetics of abstract sculpture by sculptor Hans (Jean) Arp.
The sculptural approach is particularly prominent in his early works, and the smooth curves of the arms that follow the elbows and the slender, sharp legs are abstract, like sculptures of the human body by Arp. Makes me think of my body.
Hans (Jean) Arp, Mediterranean Group, 1941/65, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo/Sculptures and prints inspired by Finn Juhl are also exhibited.
As Finn Juhl said, "A chair is not just a daily item, but a form and a space in itself." It is a great attraction that it creates harmony in the space while closely resonating with daily necessities.
Furniture, interior and video materials of the Finn Juhl House
The exhibition related to the Finn Juhl House clearly shows its charm. As a place where you can embody your own ideas without anyone interfering, it is a discerning mansion that not only designed the building but also the furniture and daily necessities.
Artworks such as paintings by Wilhelm Lunström are also beautifully arranged, and from the video material that introduces the space of the mansion in harmony with the lush forest scenery, you can feel a part of Finn Juhl's design aesthetic.
Chapter 3 "Experiencing Danish Design"
Chapter 3 Installation view
Finn Juhl believed that a chair is nothing more than an object if no one sits on it.
As a corner unique to this exhibition featuring such Finn Juhl, Chapter 3, "Experience Danish Design," presents the original role of a chair as an everyday tool and designed with the user's lifestyle in mind. I'm back to You can actually sit in over 30 Danish chairs!
Not only Finn Juhl, but also chairs by designers who supported the golden age of Danish furniture design that we saw in Chapter 1. There are solid leather chairs like the president's seat, and folding stools that are perfect for outdoor production.
You can directly touch the chair to check how comfortable it is to sit on and how it feels to the touch, and observe the appearance of the person sitting on it. How did the designers deal with the issues surrounding chairs and how did they solve them? You can enjoy rich ideas with your body.
The chairs and lighting fixtures introduced here are all still being produced by Danish manufacturers.
Denmark is known as "the happiest country in the world".
In a world where values and lifestyles are constantly changing, the fact that Danish design, with its simple design, functionality, and universal friendliness that blends in with any space, has taken root all over the world is something that I am very proud of. It may be a hint for us to live comfortably.
Until October 9, 2022, the exhibition “Finn Juhl and the Danish Chair” will shed light on familiar furniture such as chairs that support every day.
By the way, regarding the holding of this exhibition, due to the renovation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in 2012, Finn Juhl and other Danish chairs and tables have been set up in the "Sato Keitaro Memorial Art Lounge" on the first floor of the central building, and a rest area has been set up. It is said that it was triggered by the new establishment.
It seems that it was installed to create a comfortable space where visitors can spend a relaxing time, and not only the high affinity between the architecture of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and Scandinavian furniture, but also the power of the furniture to completely change the impression of the space. was also surprised.
If you visit this exhibition, please take a look at the "Sato Keitaro Memorial Art Lounge".
