Ginza Ashiya Shoten proposes a “life with art” by connecting art, Japanese culture and life through books. We hope that this exhibition will provide you with an opportunity to discover the new charms of modern beauty painting exhibitions.
This time, we will hold a gorgeous beauty painting exhibition by contemporary artists in Kyoto, suitable for decorating the first New Year.
In Kyoto, beautiful paintings are said to have started in the middle of Edo. By the time of the Taisho period after the Meiji era, the beautiful Ukiyo-e style changed from before until now, and beautiful realistic paintings that incorporate Western painting techniques came to be drawn. The flow of modern beauties formed a big peak in the first half of the Showa period and continued until the end of the Showa period.
Now, there is a new trend of beautiful paintings among young writers in Kyoto. While taking over the genealogy of beautiful paintings so far, we have prepared a number of beautiful paintings drawn with a fresh and modern sense.
Mr. Kozo Shioe (former director of the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art), who contributed to the plan, gave us a comment on the exhibition.
-In this exhibition, young Japanese painters who are working in Kyoto are gathered, with the female image as the key. They are not only painters who are trying to pay attention to their writing skills, but they have developed their own unique worlds, and their skills are highly evaluated. However, because of the uniqueness of the world, there may be something that does not fit the image of a normal “beautiful picture”. However, if I can feel the beauty of a woman as a mirror, I think it is a beautiful “beautiful picture”. Because it is a woman image that is reflected in the eyes of a young Imadoki and is moving behind the scenes, let's stop measuring with the old frame. They are undoubtedly immaculate, but they are surely connected to the “Kyoto Bijin” “centennial lineage” with good thread.
