Details
The exhibition showcases a collection of European artworks from the Tamashin Collection, highlighting how Japanese artists, particularly those from the Tama region, depicted inspirations received from foreign countries. A significant focus is placed on Kurata Saburo (1902-1992), a Western-style painter who dedicated his life to art education and traveled to over 40 countries. The display includes his landscape paintings in oil and watercolor, as well as sketches and postcards he collected during his travels. These materials offer insights into the artist's experiences and inspirations. The event also features enjoyable viewing worksheets and related programs designed for summer vacation research. Additionally, a framing experience workshop is offered as a related event, allowing visitors to frame their own cherished postcards or photos with professional guidance on mat processing and decorative stickers. Each workshop session has a capacity of 20 people.
