Om dette kunstværk
Flowers — Yasui Sōtarō
安井曾太郎は京都出身。1903年京都市立商業学校を中退。翌年浅井忠主宰の聖護院洋画研究所に入る。1907年に渡仏し、アカデミー・ジュリアンに入学してデッサン力を磨くかたわら、ミレー、ピサロ、セザンヌらの画法を研究する。帰国した翌年の1915年、二科展に滞欧作44点を特別陳列し話題を呼んだ。その後、日本の風土に合った油絵を求め続け、やがて大胆な構図、伸びやかな筆致、鮮やかな色彩のコントラスト、簡素で落ち着いた独自の画風を開拓した。また、実物に勝る芸術を生み出すためには、感動によってデフォルメされた形態や、強調された色彩や明暗が必要なことも示した。1935年帝国美術院会員となり、二科会会員を辞し、翌年一水会の創立に参加。1944年に帝室技芸員となり、東京美術学校教授に就任。1949年に日本美術家連盟初代会長に就任し、1952年に文化勲章を受賞。
Kunstner og museum
Født i Kyoto, Japan
Yasui Sōtarō, born on May 17, 1888, in Kyoto, Japan, was a pivotal figure in the development of modern Japanese painting. He initially defied his family’s expectations by abandoning commercial studies to pursue art. His formal training began at the Shōgoin Institute of Western Art (later known as Kansai Bijutsuin) under the guidance of Asai Chū. This foundation in Western painting techniques proved crucial for his future artistic explorations, alongside fellow student Ryuzaburo Umehara.
In 1907, at the age of nineteen, Yasui Sōtarō embarked on a transformative journey to Paris, where he studied at the Académie Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens. For seven years (until 1914), he immersed himself in the European art scene. He was profoundly influenced by Realist masters like Jean-François Millet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, but it was Paul Cézanne’s emphasis on form and structure that left a lasting impression, shaping his unique artistic vision.
Returning to Japan in 1915 with the outbreak of World War I, Yasui Sōtarō began to forge his distinctive style – often referred to as the “Yasui style.” This approach masterfully blended Western painting techniques with Japanese aesthetic sensibilities. His work is characterized by bold deformations, deliberate omissions, and a striking use of color. He sought to move beyond mere imitation of Western styles, aiming for an authentically modern Japanese expression. A period of health challenges followed his return, but he persevered in refining his unique approach.
Some of Yasui Sōtarō’s most celebrated works include:
Artist and His Model (1934): A prime example of his mastery of Western-style portraiture.
View of the Boso Peninsula (1932): Demonstrates his ability to capture Japanese landscapes through a distinctly modern lens.
Black-haired Woman (1924)
Portrait of a Woman (1930)
Chin-Jung (1934)
In 1935, he was nominated for membership in the prestigious Imperial Fine Arts Academy, solidifying his position within the Japanese art world. He also co-founded the Issui-kai in 1936 with Ikuma Arishima as a rival organization to the Nikakai.
Yasui Sōtarō’s innovative approach revolutionized Japanese portraiture and landscape painting in the 20th century. He played a crucial role in the development of Yōga (Western-style) painting in Japan, successfully integrating Western techniques with Japanese artistic traditions. His work continues to inspire artists today, and his paintings are held in prominent collections such as those at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hiroshima Museum of Art. He received the Order of Culture from the Japanese government in 1952, recognizing his significant contributions to the nation’s cultural heritage. Yasui Sōtarō passed away on December 14, 1955, leaving behind a legacy as one of Japan's most important modern painters.
Udstillet i Tokyo, Japan
Nestled on the third floor of the Marubeni Corporation’s Tokyo headquarters, the Marubeni Gallery is more than just a museum; it's a testament to the enduring power of cross-cultural exchange and a celebration of artistic heritage. Opened in November 2021, this relatively young institution possesses a depth of history rooted in the company’s longstanding engagement with textiles and art—a legacy stretching back to 1925 with the establishment of the Society of Textile Masterpieces. The gallery isn't simply displaying objects; it is actively fostering “a space where the aesthetics of the East and West resonate,” a concept that permeates every aspect of its design and collection.
Woven Histories: Textiles as Cultural Narratives
Bridging Traditions: Nihonga, Western Masters, and Contemporary Visions
A Modern Sanctuary: Architecture and Atmosphere
Looking Ahead: A Cultural Gem for Tokyo
The heart of the Marubeni Gallery’s identity lies within its extraordinary textile collection. Comprising over 435 works, it's a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of tradition, artistry, and historical significance. Here, one encounters not merely garments, but tangible embodiments of Japanese culture—from the breathtaking grandeur of Noh costumes, each stitch imbued with ritualistic meaning, to the exquisite refinement of kimono masterpieces that reflect evolving societal tastes and artistic techniques across generations. The gallery’s holdings extend beyond finished pieces, showcasing original textile design drawings used in kimono production, particularly those born from the Meihin-kai project—a fascinating glimpse into the creative process behind these iconic garments. These aren't static displays; they are windows into the lives of those who created and wore them, revealing stories of status, ceremony, and personal expression. The meticulous preservation of these textiles underscores Marubeni’s commitment to safeguarding Japan’s artistic legacy.
While deeply rooted in Japanese artistry, the Marubeni Gallery doesn't shy away from a broader artistic dialogue. The collection thoughtfully juxtaposes works by prominent Nihonga painters—artists like Inshō Dōmoto and Shinsui Itō who masterfully blended traditional Japanese techniques with modern sensibilities—alongside Western paintings acquired during Marubeni’s active participation in the international art market. This deliberate pairing isn't about comparison, but rather about highlighting shared artistic concerns and demonstrating how different cultures have approached similar themes of beauty, representation, and emotion. The gallery’s curators aim to stimulate conversation between visitors, prompting reflection on universal human experiences expressed through diverse artistic mediums. Notably, recent exhibitions have explored collaborations between Japanese artists and international creatives, furthering this spirit of intercultural exchange.
The museum’s physical space itself reflects its core philosophy. Designed with clean lines and open spaces, the architecture is decidedly modern yet respectful of the cultural treasures it houses. It avoids imposing itself upon the artwork, instead creating a serene environment that encourages contemplation and immersion. The location within the Marubeni Corporation's headquarters isn’t accidental; it symbolizes the company’s deep-seated commitment to cultural preservation and its belief in the power of art to inspire and connect. Natural light floods into the gallery, illuminating the textiles and paintings with an ethereal glow—a deliberate choice intended to enhance visitors’ sensory experience and foster a connection with the artworks on display.
The Marubeni Gallery stands as a unique cultural gem in the vibrant city of Tokyo. It’s a place where art enthusiasts, collectors, and interior designers alike can find inspiration and discover new perspectives. Current exhibitions, like “Splendor and Sophistication: Kimono Masterpieces with Yuzen Dyeing,” offer deep dives into specific artistic traditions, while upcoming shows promise to further explore the evolution of Japanese clothing and design. More than just a repository of beautiful objects, the Marubeni Gallery is a living testament to the enduring power of art to transcend boundaries and foster understanding—a beacon of cultural exchange in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Its mission extends beyond showcasing art; it strives to cultivate appreciation for Japanese culture and contribute to dialogue between artistic traditions across continents.
