古川美術館コレクション展　「二つのまなざし　—日本画と洋画」

Furukawa Art Museum Collection Exhibition
“Two Gazes — Japanese-Style Painting and Western-Style Painting”

概要

明治から昭和、そして平成に至るまで、激動の時代を生きた画家たちは、それぞれの筆に思いを託し、移りゆく社会と人々と共に多くのものを描き出しました。本展は古川爲三郎のコレクションを中心に、近代日本画・洋画界を牽引した作家の作品を古川美術館の名品でつづります。5つのテーマを設け、日本画と洋画という異なる表現の道を歩んだ画家たちの“まなざし”を通して、その多様な美と表現を紐解きます。日本画家からは、伝統を継承し新たな挑戦を試みた横山大観、竹内栖鳳、上村松園、伊藤小坡ら。洋画家からは写実から内面表現まで幅広く描き出した和田栄作、藤田嗣治、海老原喜之助、東郷青児、鬼頭鍋三郎、伊藤清永らの作品をご紹介します。

異なる技法、異なる感性――しかし、そこに流れるのは、ひとつの時代を生きた画家たちのまなざしでした。それぞれがとらえた人物、風景、季節、そして時代の空気は、今なお私たちの心に語りかけてきます。筆がつむいだ美のまなざしと記憶を、心ゆくまでご堪能ください。

From the Meiji era through the Shōwa and into the Heisei period, painters who lived through turbulent times entrusted their thoughts to their brushes, depicting the ever‑changing society and the people within it. This exhibition, centered on the collection of Furukawa Tamezaburō, presents masterpieces from the Furukawa Art Museum by artists who led the worlds of modern Japanese-style painting and Western-style painting.
With five thematic sections, the exhibition unravels the diverse beauty and expressive approaches seen through the “gaze” of painters who pursued different artistic paths—Nihonga and Western painting.
From the realm of Japanese-style painting, the exhibition features works by Yokoyama Taikan, Takeuchi Seiho, Uemura Shōen, Itō Shōha, and others who inherited tradition while seeking new challenges. From the Western-style painters, it introduces works by Wada Eisaku, Fujita Tsuguharu, Ebihara Kinosuke, Tōgō Seiji, Kito Nabesaburō, Itō Kiyonaga, and more—artists who depicted a wide range of styles from realism to introspective expression.
Different techniques, different sensibilities—yet what flows through them all is the shared gaze of artists who lived in the same era. The people, landscapes, seasons, and the very atmosphere of their time, each captured in their own way, continue to speak to our hearts even today.
Please enjoy to your heart’s content the beauty and memories woven by their brushes.

爲三郎記念館特別展「数寄屋の日本間で味わう屏風の世界」
Special Exhibition at the Tamezaburō Memorial Museum
“The World of Folding Screens Experienced in a Traditional Sukiya‑Style Japanese Room”

日本の住空間において、絵画は単なる鑑賞の対象ではなく、空間を構成し、季節や物語を運ぶ役割を担ってきました。とりわけ屏風は、絵画としての美しさと、空間を仕切る道具としての機能を併せ持ち、視線を導き、気配を生み、暮らしの中に風景を立ち上げる存在でもありました。
本展では屏風と軸物が織りなす風景を通して、爲三郎記念館という数寄屋建築の空間美学と、視線・季節・物語の流れを感じ、絵と空間が響き合うことで生まれる、日本の美のあり方を、静かに、深く味わっていただければ幸いです。

In Japanese living spaces, paintings have never been merely objects for viewing; they have shaped the atmosphere of a room and carried with them the seasons and stories of daily life. Among them, folding screens (byōbu) uniquely combine the beauty of painting with the practical function of dividing space. They guide the viewer’s gaze, create a sense of presence, and bring landscapes to life within the home.
In this exhibition, through the scenes created by folding screens and hanging scrolls, visitors are invited to experience the spatial aesthetics of the Tamezaburō Memorial Museum’s sukiya‑style architecture. By sensing the flow of gaze, season, and narrative, we hope you will quietly and deeply appreciate the essence of Japanese beauty that emerges from the harmony between art and space.
