Yumeji Takehisa
In 1934, the ill artist (1884-1934) wrote a poem about Yama (mountains in Japanese) from his hospital bed at the Shinshu/Fujimi Highlands Health Sanitorium from which he could see the mountains of Yatsugatake.
The artist and Hikono Kasai with whom he had a controversial love affair, exchanged letters using the pennames "Mountain," which Yumeji gave her, and "River". The letters were later made into an anthology called "To Yama". Also, he named his second son "Fujihiko" after Fuji-san (Mount Fuji) and took care of him single-handedly after his divorce. When he looks back on those times, Fujihiko remembers that he was "always in his father's pocket" during those times.
In this exhibition "Yama," the subject of many of his thoughts, will be explored with a focus on his scenery paintings.
Gallery Talk by Curators: May 13th, 15:00-16:00
-No need to make reservations.
