To know the production process of the work, including the main drawing of the 70-year-old masterpiece “Sanme”, which depicts flame wood, Indian peacock and squall, which is a motif that Shoko Uemura has warmed up in his heart for 50 years. We will hold “Shoko Uemura Exhibition: Touching the Composition of Beauty”, which will be exhibited together with sketches and drawings that can be made. The period is from November 2, 2021 to February 6, 2022.
Shoko Uemura (1902-2001) was born in Kyoto as the eldest son of the Japanese painter Uemura Shoen, and continued to paint magnificent bird-and-flower paintings on the modern Kyoto art gallery. He establishes a sophisticated style of bird-and-flower painting with a modern composition, centered on his precise observation from his childhood and the traditional Maruyama-Shijo school sketches.
Regarding the sketch, Matsutaka said as follows.
“There is a word that tells the truth in a small way, but it is necessary to observe things closely. But do not get caught. Do not end up in a natural history specimen. It is to find out. If your heart and eyes are muddy, you cannot truly touch it. You will get it. The picture will come from it. ”
