Hokusai Katsushika and Jakuchu Ito

"Genealogy of Fantasy" exhibition is being held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum。I haven't seen it yet、This is an exhibition that I would definitely like to go to.。When I was a student (over 44 years ago)。read in a book、It has never left a corner of my brain ever since.、Tsuji Nobuo's "Genealogy of Fantasies" as a Theory of Painting。It's one of my treasured books、This exhibition is a “visualization” of this book.。The book has a stronger image, but、There's no reason not to see it。

Last year (the year before?)、若冲展があったが、became a big hit、I couldn't see it because of the long line.。I heard praise from people who went to see it.、While showing me the catalog、I realized once again that Jakuchu is not that great.。Popularity is a false image created by the media.。

Having said that, I am not a critic of Jakuchu.、one of the fans。Since many people didn't know the name、I say, "This is Jakuchu."、There was a picture I liked。"Flock of chickens"。Jakuchu has no other paintings.。However, there was the ``Jakuchu boom'' mentioned earlier.、There is an illusion (temporarily among fans) that Jakuchu represents Japanese painting.。I like Jakuchu too、I don't think I'd compare it to Hokusai.。Sorry for the Jakuchu fanatics、“It’s on a different level.”。But、It's okay to be different。This does not necessarily mean that it demeans Jakuchu.、People who can't understand the reason behind Jakuchu should stop calling themselves ``Jakuchu fans.''。

I’m also looking forward to Soga Shohaku.。He in a sense、Has surpassed Hokusai as an “international writer”。To see their genius、At the same time as we experience the awesomeness that we serious people cannot imitate,、I think this is a time when we can feel the joy of seeing what people ``just like us'' have done.、What I'm looking forward to。

Landscapes of attempted

"Landscape" exercises

Become "landscape painter" this year。It is the target、Let me for the time being declared。
Ah、Before that, "Happy New Year。It is also best regards "this year。

Several times but to challenge every year、Always half-hearted in frustration。Rather than scenery is the problem、Because thinking it Charanporan。And、Without anything of reflection、Repeating the same thing。Stack only failure data about repeat is、Head is full of failure of the dregs。

"Landscape painter" aside、Also landscape is difficult for any painter of modern, not only me。Because it does not have to fight with the visual photos。Photos of the mechanism、Functional level is already far beyond human。Moreover, it is also in everyone's hands、We have become accustomed to that level。You do not know how to fight it? Without that strategy、It does not draw such as landscape painting carelessly。

of course、Since our heads still in the 19 century、If the usually skillfully depicts the ordinary landscape、(But rather the person who is) enough fun。
