Okoku Konoshima
Okoku Konoshima (1877-1938) is a Japanese painter who has been reevaluated in recent years as a representative of the modern Kyoto art world. Although best known for animal paintings, Konoshima also painted landscapes. The results of daily trips to the suburbs of Kyoto and annual travels as a young man, sketching landscapes throughout Japan, led to the development of modern, majestic landscape painting that also incorporated the spatial sense of Western painting. On the other hand, Konoshima's childhood familiarity with Chinese poetry and love of ancient Chinese and Japanese paintings led him to a new and familiar style of landscape painting that transposed the ideal world of Chinese literati into the Japanese landscape.
This exhibition introduces his sketches of landscapes and paintings from his collection and explores the landscape paintings of his life and the landscape of his heart that remained at the root of his work.
(There will be a major change of exhibits during the exhibition period.)
