Teru Ando
ANDO Teru (1892 – 1945) is the creator of the first statue of the faithful dog Hachiko – the landmark monument of Shibuya station. The present exhibition commemorates 80 years since the artist’s death and attempts to give an exhaustive introduction to ANDO’s activities, not only with about 30 pieces of his existing works and documents but also through the works of related artists.
The works of ANDO, who lived during the unstable times of approaching war and rivalry in the crowded sculptors’ circles of the Showa Period, are simple and tranquil, as if defying the atmosphere of the era. The sculptures created by ANDO, who silently fought his time, can probably provide us, living in the present-day vigorously changing society, with fresh insights.
