主旨
日本藝術院会員として日本の具象彫刻を牽引する山本眞輔と、瑞々しい草花を描く洋画家・山本澄江。その創造の歩みを、初公開作品を交えて紹介します。
古川美術館1階では「山本眞輔　人間讃歌―平和を祈りて」を開催。眞輔が抱いた“祈りの心”は、透明感あふれる女性像となって静かに佇み、生命や自然、人との対話から生まれた深い祈りが、凛とした存在感となって立ち上がります。若き日に触れたイタリア彫刻の精神を背景に、生涯を通して追い求めた心象世界の核心に迫ります。
2階では「山本澄江―MY LANDSCAPE 祈りの道」を展開。アクリルガッシュの豊かな色彩と繊細なペン画が織りなす静謐な風景には、草花のいのちの美しさや〈生生流転〉の気配がそっと息づきます。下絵を持たず、自然のままの色とかたちをすくい上げる「祈りの道」シリーズが広がります。
さらに分館・爲三郎記念館では、山本夫妻の作品とともに、娘・眞希が柔らかな筆致で四季の花を描いた日本画を展示。三人三様の表現が響き合う“山本家の美の系譜”をご堪能ください。

Exhibition Concept
This exhibition brings together the artistic achievements of Shinsuke Yamamoto—an eminent sculptor and member of the Japan Art Academy who has long shaped the field of Japanese figurative sculpture—and Sumie Yamamoto, a Western-style painter celebrated for her luminous depictions of flora. Their creative trajectories are presented through a selection of works, including several shown for the first time.
On the first floor of the Furukawa Art Museum, “Shinsuke Yamamoto — Hymn to Humanity: In Prayer for Peace” explores the profound spiritual sensibility that permeates the artist’s oeuvre. His sculpted female figures, rendered with crystalline clarity, stand in quiet poise, embodying prayers born of life, nature, and human encounter. Rooted in the sculptural spirit of Italy that inspired him in his youth, this section delves into the inner realm he pursued throughout his lifetime.
The second floor presents “Sumie Yamamoto — MY LANDSCAPE: Path of Prayer.” Her serene landscapes—woven from the rich hues of acrylic gouache and the subtle intricacy of pen drawing—evoke the vitality of blooming plants and the gentle pulse of ever-changing life. Painted without preliminary sketches, the works in her “Path of Prayer” series capture the immediacy of natural form and color, unfolding across the gallery in quietly resonant scenes.
At the Annex Tamezaburō Memorial Museum, works by Shinsuke and Sumie are exhibited alongside Japanese paintings by their daughter, Maki Yamamoto, whose delicate brushwork brings seasonal flowers to life. Together, the three artists offer a compelling harmony of expression—an intergenerational lineage of beauty within the Yamamoto family.
