中国近代の人物画―画(え)の中に生きる―
2021年6月22日(火)~8月15日(日)※臨時休館延長に伴い開幕日変更
※緊急事態宣言の延長に伴い、開幕日を6月22日(火)に変更します。(5/29更新)
当館が所蔵する、第二次久保惣コレクションと林宗毅氏寄贈の中国近代絵画コレクション(定静堂コレクション)の中から、清時代から現代(19世紀半ば~20世紀半ば)に制作された人物画約50点を展示します。
この時代の中国の画家たちは、社会が急激に変革し近代化する中で、これまでの伝統的な絵画を学ぶだけでなく、西洋や日本の絵画からも影響を受け、新しい理論や表現技法を取り入れる機会を得ました。激動の時代に、画家たちがどのような人物画を描いたのか。本展覧会では、道教や仏教に関係する人物や歴史に名を残した人、世俗を離れて隠棲する人、窓辺にたたずむ女性や遊びに興じる子どもなど、さまざまな人物を描いた作品を通じて、中国の近現代における人物画の魅力をお楽しみいただきます。
土佐派と住吉派 其の二―やまと絵の展開と流派の個性―
2021年9月12日(日)~11月7日(日)
平成30年度に開催した特別展「土佐派と住吉派-やまと絵の荘重と軽妙-」に引き続き、江戸時代前期から幕末にわたるやまと絵の系譜を、土佐派と住吉派を中心にご紹介します。
江戸時代前期から後期のやまと絵の展開を辿り、両派の全体像をご覧いただきます。それとともに、同時代に狩野派や円山派、四条派、文人画派、琳派などの絵師たちが活躍する中で、土佐派、住吉派の活動がどのように伝統的なやまと絵の継承を行ってきたのか、またこれらの画派の絵師が美術史に占める位置や役割、流派の意義などを考えます。本展覧会によって、現在では江戸時代絵画史からいわば忘れられてきたやまと絵画派の特性が浮かび上がり、広く認識していただく契機になることをめざします。

50 portrait pieces created from the Qing Dynasty to the modern age (mid 19th to mid 20th centuries) will be exhibited from our second generation Kuboso Collection and Chinese modern art collection (Teiseido Collection) donated by Hayashi Munetake. Many Chinese painters at that time not only learned the traditional style but were also influenced by new theories and techniques from Western countries, as well as Japan, during a time of rapid and radical social change brought about by modernization. The displays will include portraits that introduce subjects from all walks of life, from famous Taoists and Buddhists, to hermits living a secluded existence, and ordinary men, women and children.

Tosa and Sumiyoshi Schools II —The Development of the Yamatoe Painting Style and the Outstanding Characteristic of Each School
September 12 (Sun.), 2021 – November 7 (Sun.)
As a sequel to the 2018 exhibition “Tosa and Sumiyoshi Schools—The Lightness and Solemnity in Yamatoe Paintings,” this exhibition will be held to introduce the progression of Yamatoe paintings over the entire Edo Period, once again featuring these two schools. It will first focus on the development of this particular style of the time to provide an outline, and then investigate how these schools embraced and inherited the traditional Yamatoe style while surrounded by active artists from other schools, such as Kano, Maruyama, Shijo, Bunjinga and Rin. It will also attempt to examine the roles of the artists of these schools and how both contributed so much to art history. With this exhibition, we hope to encourage the world to recognize the amazing works of the Yamatoe Schools, which have, up to now, been considered a rather minor part of Edo art history.
