芹沢銈介の世界展（日本橋高島屋）
日本橋の高島屋で開催された、芹沢銈介の作品と、芹沢が収集した世界中の民藝品に関するコレクション展。
芹沢は、若い頃、柳宗悦の本を読んでから、民藝運動に心を引かれ、柳らと活動する中で、沖縄の紅型に出会い、その鮮やかな色合いを、自分の作品に取り入れた。
文字をデザインして、着物やのれんなどに取り入れた芹沢の作品は、一度見ただけでも、強烈な印象を心に残す。
いろはにほへと、などの平仮名を中心に、子供のような遊び心で、文字を山や動物などの自然の形象と組み合わせて、不思議な文字を生み出していく。
何の説明もいらず、その作品だけを、いつまでも見ていても飽きのこない芹沢の作品は、デザインの本質を、よく表している。
芹沢が収集したという世界各地の民藝品の数々。
江戸時代の民衆が使った器、衣装など。アイヌの独特の文様の着物、沖縄の色鮮やかな紅型。
朝鮮の漢字をデフォルメした民画。パプアニューギニアの細長い仮面。小さな鏡や小物がぶら下がったコートジボワールの狩人の衣装。フィンランドの素朴な木製のイス。
芹沢は、そうした民藝品から、多くのインスピレーションを得ていたのだろう。

ボストン美術館 浮世絵名品展 北斎（上野の森美術館）
ボストン美術館の収蔵する浮世絵を展示するシリーズ展の最後を飾る北斎展。
ビゲロー、モース、フェノロサ、岡倉天心らにゆかりのボストン美術館は、自らのコレクションだけで、北斎の生涯にわたる作品を展示する展覧会を企画できるほど、膨大な日本美術のコレクションを誇る。
すでに、名古屋、神戸、北九州で開催され、東京はその最後となった。
開始直後に訪れたが、すでにもの凄い人手。世界的にも有名な北斎ということもあり、外国の人々の姿も多かった。
作品は、ほぼ年代の順に展示されていた。勝川春朗を名乗っていた初期の作品は、師匠の勝川春章にならって、役者絵が多い。
北斎を代表する、富嶽三十六景、諸国瀧巡りなどの作品を描いた頃は、意外にも、北斎は北斎改為一とか、前北斎為一、などと名乗っていた。
お岩さんなどで有名な幽霊画、百物語には、前北斎、という名前が刷られている。
北斎は、その生涯で何度も名前を変えている。北斎にとって、絵に記される名前など、それほど重要なことではなかったのかもしれない。
絵の横に書かれた名前よりも、そこに描かれている絵そのものの方が、自分の技術を何よりもよく表していると考えていたのだろう。
会場の最後には、北斎の娘、葛飾応為の肉筆画、三曲合奏図が展示されていた。
実は、この展覧会を訪れたのは、北斎の作品を見るよりも、この応為の肉筆画を見ることの方が、大きな目的だった。
現存する作品が、10点ほどしかないという幻の画家。
美しい着物を来た3人の女性が、お互い向かい合って、琴、胡弓、三味線を演奏している、色鮮やかな作品。
美人画を描くのが苦手だった北斎に変わって、一部の作品では、女性の部分だけを代筆していた、といわれる応為。
北斎が亡くなった後の応為の晩年は、今でもよくわからないという。

建築家ピエール・シャローとガラスの家（パナソニック汐留ミュージアム）
1920〜1930年代、いわゆるアール・デコの時代に活躍した、フランスの建築家、ピエール・シャローについての、国内初となる展覧会。
ピエール・シャローは、1883年、フランスのボルドーのワインを扱う商家の家に生まれた。そのせいか、後年のシャローの名刺は、ワインのエチケットのようなデザインだった。
シャローは、建築家になることを夢見ていたが、建築の大学には入れず、まずは、家具などのインテリアのデザイナーとしてそのキャリアをスタートさせた。
裕福な家庭向けに、高い材料を使い、シンプルでモダンな、一点ものの家具を数多く手がけ、徐々にその名前を知られるようになった。
ピカソやブラックなどの、当時の時代の先端を行くアーティストたちの作品を数多く購入したが、中でも、ジャック・リプシッツという彫刻家が特に気に入っていたようだ。
リプシッツの、横たわる裸婦、という作品は、一見すると、ソファー、あるいは何かの動物のように見え、どこかユーモラスな印象を与える。
シャローは、次第に、家の設計を行うようにもなり、今もパリに残るガラスの家という作品が、彼の代表的な作品となっている。
その家は、黒い金属の格子の中に、曇りガラスがはめ込まれており、ガラスの家という言葉からすぎに想像される、いわゆるガラス張りで、中が丸見え、という感じではない。
部屋の中に入ると、ガラスから入り込む外の光のせいで、部屋の中は、明るく開放的な雰囲気に包まれている。
ようやく長年の夢である建築家として活躍し始めたシャローだが、1930年代以降、ヨーロッパに不況が訪れると、アメリカに渡り、二度とヨーロッパに戻ることはなかった。
アメリカでは、いくつかの住宅などを設計したが、残念ながら、そうした活躍は、あまり知られていないという。
ピエール・シャローは、アール・デコとともに現れ、その終わりとともに、静かに退場していった、そんな建築家だった。

いま、台湾 台湾美術院の作家たち（松濤美術館）
今年、改修工事を終えて、久しぶりにオープンした松濤美術館。再オープンしてから、次々と魅力的な展覧会が開催されている。
台湾美術院は、2010年に、台湾の芸術家たちによって設立された、新しい美術団体。その台湾美術院の画家たちの作品を通じて、台湾美術のいまを概観する、という展覧会。
現代の台湾芸術には、中国の伝統的な水墨画や書などの芸術と、日本や西洋の芸術の影響が入り交じり、多彩な様相を呈している。
この展覧会でも、様々な様式で制作された作品が展示されて、まさに、台湾芸術の今を表しているようだった。
謝里法の進化論四篇。4つの画面に、同じ構図で、後方から見た牛の半身像が描かれている。構図は同じだが、描き方は、水墨画のような白黒、表現主義のような色合いなど様々。
特に、そのうちの一枚は、牛がまるで血まみれになっているように描かれていて、強烈なインパクトを見る者に与える。
傅申は、日本の東日本大震災のことを知って書いた、3つの書の作品を展示。篆字で書かれた、震、核、爆、などの字の、本来の形象文字としての性格がよく表れている。
あの事件が、映像以外の手段で、これほどのリアリティをもって表現できることに驚かされた。漢字、という文字の持つ力をまざまざと見せつけられた。
李振明の作品は、台湾の原住民族を題材にしている。幻想的な風景の中に、原住民族の土器や、鮮やかな飾りのついた帽子などが、印象的に描かれている。
特別出品として、ジュディ・オングの作品が何点か展示されていた。
いずれも木版画だが、そのうちのひとつは、雪の景色の中の銀閣寺を、木の枝の一本一本と、そこに積もる雪まで、丹念に細かく描いている。

フィオナ・タン まなざしの詩学
インドネシア人の父とオーストラリア人の母を持ち、インドネシアに生まれ、オーストラリアで育ち、現在はオランダを中心に活躍する、フィオナ・タンの映像作品を展示した企画展。
フィオナ・タンの作品は、いずれも、視線、記憶、歴史、などに結びついている。
2009年、ヴェネツィア・ヴィエンナーレで発表され、大きな話題を呼んだ、ディスオリエント。
大きな部屋の中で、2つの映像が流れている。ちょうど向かいの壁に、すこしずらすようにして、その2つの映像は映されてている。
どちらかの映像を、一つづつ見ることもできるし、両方の映像を見える位置を探して、2つの映像を交互に見ることもできる。
片方の映像では、マルコ・ポーロの『東方見聞録』が朗読に合わせて、そこで取り上げられた都市や地方の、現在の映像が流されている。
中央アジアの、当時とあまり変わっていない地域もあれば、中国の都市などのように、高層ビルが建ち並ぶ都市の映像もある。
もう一つの画面では、仏像、陶器、インドの神々の銅像など、中国やインドなどの東洋の文物を集めた、赤を基調とした中国風のインテリアの、博物館の中のような部屋を巡る映像が流されている。
2つの映像の中では、過去と現在、記憶、物、物語、などの多様な要素が、複雑に絡み合っており、それらが映像を見る人々の頭の中で、時に絡み合い、時に離れ合っていくようだ。
その建築家は、若き日に訪れたローマの印象を、そうした彫刻作品を自宅に飾ることで、ずっと保ち続けたかったらしい。
彼にとって、ローマという都市は、あくまでも古きローマ帝国の中心ともいうべき存在で、その時代の人々が暮らす都市、というものではなかったようだ。
一人の人間の記憶の中にある、古い時代の記憶。そこでは、記憶が重層的に重なり合っている。それを、タンは、映像の中に留めようとしている。
これまで、この美術館では、写真、映像の素晴らしい作品を鑑賞してきた。2年間も、そうした時間が味わえなくなるということは、残念というより、悲劇と表現した方が、より正しい。

木版ぞめき 日本で何が起こったか（東京芸術大学美術館）
この日、上野公園では、大規模なフリーマーケットが開かれていた。
よく見ると、それはアートフリマ。どうやら、東京芸術大学の学園祭のようで、学生と思しき若者たちが、自分たちの作品を、店先に並べていた。
美術館のある、東京芸術大学のキャンパス内は、多くの人々が行き交っており、その間を抜けて、美術館に逃げ込んだ。
木版ぞめき。何とも不思議な題名の展覧会。
同じ時期に開催されている、第2回国際木版画会議との連動企画。入場料が無料というのも、嬉しい。
室町時代から、現在までの、東京芸術大学のコレクションを中心にした、木版画作品の数々。
版画と言えば、やはり、浮世絵がまっさきに思い浮かぶ。
この展覧会でも、浮世絵が展示されていたが、そのうちの何点かは、いわゆる春画だった。
浮世絵の展覧会は、度々開催されるが、そうした場で春画を目にすることは本当にまれだ。
先日、ロンドンで大々的な春画の展覧会が開かれ話題になった。企画者は、日本でも開催場所を募ったそうだが、日本からのオファーはなかったという。何とも寂しい。
他にも、様々な木版画の作品が展示され、その多彩な世界を実感できた。
江戸時代の素朴な味わいの浄土曼荼羅図、大正時代の色鮮やかなポチ袋のコレクション、本物そっくりに刷られた精巧な源氏物語絵巻、棟方志功の素朴な木版画などなど。
もうひとつの展示室では、大未来予想図絵、と題して、現在活躍する作家たちの作品を展示。
まだまだ変化し続け、木版画の世界の未来を感じさせる、多彩な作品が展示されていた。

趙之謙の書画と北魏の書（書道博物館）
趙之謙は、王羲之や顔真卿のような貴族的な書ではない、北魏時代の碑文のような勇壮な書を目指す、いわゆる碑学派の代表的な人物として知られている。
趙之謙は、紹興の商家に生まれたが、生家が没落。役人になるべく北京に上京し、科挙を受けるが失敗し、書や絵画で生計を立てるようになった。
その過程で、北魏時代の極太のダイナミックな書に心を奪われるようになっていった。
趙之謙の書は、そうした北魏時代の書の精神を受け継ぎながら、それまでにない、新しい書の形を表している。
趙之謙が生活のために描いたという数々の絵。植物や花々を、色鮮やかに描いたものが多い。筆遣いは、それほど細かくはなく、簡潔に対象を描いている。
いずれも、目を見張るような名画、という感じではないが、手作り感に溢れた、味のある絵だ。
また、会場には、趙之謙の人生を大きく変えることになった、北魏時代の龍門石窟の書も何点か展示されていた。
いずれも、竜門石窟のそれぞれの仏像を作った経緯などが書かれている。
ほとんど同じ時代に書かれたものだが、字形は異なっており、それを書いた人の、個性を感じさせる。
趙之謙は、科挙を何度か受けたが、結局パスすることができず、ついにあきらめ、地方官になる道を選んだ。
時は、清の末期。太平天国の乱に巻き込まれ、妻子を失い、自らのその処理の政務に忙殺されるようになり、書や絵画に費やす時間も、次第に少なくなっていった。
そうした、必ずしも恵まれたとは言えない人生の中で、多くの書や絵画を残した趙之謙。その名は、強烈に心に中に刻み込まれた。

In this exhibition, works of Hiroshi Senju, that waterfall, remained in the mind.
Literally, works depicting the waterfall. Painting on black background, waterfall is only depicted.
But instead of being drawn directly with a brush, part of the waterfall, seems to have been drawn in like a spray.
That is how to draw in real indeed, even in front of the painting forever, it does not feel time and wonder the flies. The illusion is as yl are pouring in front of the eye, in front of the waterfall true.
Works of Senju, there was several points among other things, for those of there, the impression of so much did not feel. Anyway, presence of this work, had overwhelmed the works of famous painters of the other.

水の音 広重から千住博まで（山種美術館）
今年の夏も暑かった。
その暑い夏をいくらかでも涼んでもらおうという意図であろう、山種美術館のコレクションを中心にした、水をテーマにした日本の絵画の展覧会。
この展覧会では、千住博の、ウォーターフォール、という作品が心に残った。
文字通り、滝を描いた作品。背景の黒に、流れ落ちる滝が描かれているだけの絵。
滝の部分は、筆で直接描いているのではなく、スプレーのようなもので描かれているようだ。
その描き方が実にリアルで、いつまでも絵の前にいても、不思議と時間がたつのを感じさせない。目の前で流れ落ちている、本当の滝の前にいるように錯覚させる。
千住の作品は、他にも何点かあったが、そちらの方には、それほどの印象は感じられなかった。とにかく、この作品の存在感は、他の名だたる画家たちの作品を圧倒していた。
横山大観が、中国を訪れた時の記憶をもとに描いた楚水の巻。大観の独特の墨の表現を使って、のんびりとした水辺の風景が描かれている。
鳴門、という同じ題名による、奥村土牛と川端龍子の作品。奥村土牛は、ひとつの渦を中心に、海の水を薄緑を使って描いている。
川端龍子は、それとは対照的に、多くの渦のかたまりを、2双の屏風に描き、海の色は真っ青に、渦の波は真っ白と、鮮やかな色のコントラストを効かせている。

National Treasures of the Munakata Shrine (Idemitsu Museum)
(Translated by Google Translate)
Speaking of the Idemitsu Museum of Arts Tokyo, Hibiya, is known for collection painting classic, calligraphy, and pottery of Japan, where it was surprising is the scope of archeology, and national treasure exhibition Munakata Shrine.
Founder of Idemitsu Kosan Idemitsu Sazo is born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Munakata, the Munakata Shrine local, but from the edge that had a thick faith. Hmmm.
The exhibition room of the first, old mirror, jewels, and ornaments. Approximately 30 points is a national treasure. The opportunity to see a lot of national treasures, this much unusual.
Munakata Shrine of current, stands towards the land of Kyushu, the past, it was enshrined in the islands off it was a small island away.
Located in the per divided equally into three clean Fukuoka peripheral and Tsushima Korean Peninsula, and the era of ancient islands off was a relay point between Japan and the continent.
So, it plays an important role in the exchange of Korean Peninsula, treasure of these national treasures are left numerous.
When it comes to the era of the samurai, respond by reading sensitive to changes of the times, to focus on, such as trade with the Southern Song, Munakata family became obey to Minamoto no Yoritomo.
Over about 40 years approximately, with only one person, the person living through the 13th century from the 12th century, Shikijyo nurses, was the Sutras Issaikyo the combined Code of all of Buddhism.
All of its 40 volumes have been left in Munakata Shrine. In Issaikyo individuals wrote, what is left to date, that's just what this color titration nurses. What volume of which was exhibited.
In its life, a single person, whether that be accomplished what exactly? I think the answer to that one, such as in front of the eyes were.
Munakata said, had extinct at the end of the Warring States period, but Munakata Shrine, received the patronage of the rulers even then, in the Edo era, Kuroda had a profound assistance.
Such as Thirty-six Master Poets diagram become hand Kano Eitoku, Yasunobu of his brother represents well the thick asylum.

宗像大社国宝展（出光美術館）
東京、日比谷の出光美術館と言えば、日本の古典的な絵画、書、陶器などのコレクションで知られるが、そこで、考古学の範疇である、宗像大社の国宝展とは意外だった。
出光興産の創業者、出光佐三が福岡県、宗像市の出身で、地元の宗像大社には、厚い信仰心を持っていた縁があるのだという。なるほど。
最初の展示室には、古い鏡、勾玉、装飾品など。およそ30点が国宝。これほど多くの国宝を目にする機会は、珍しい。
現在の宗像大社は、九州の陸地の方に建っているが、かつては、離れ小島であった沖の島に鎮座していた。
沖の島は、朝鮮半島と対馬、そして福岡周辺をきれいに3等分するあたりにあり、古代の時代は、大陸と日本との中継地点だった。
そこで、朝鮮半島との交流の重要な役割を担っており、こうした国宝級の宝物が数多く残されている。
武士の時代になると、宗像大社の宗家の宗像氏は、時代の変化を敏感に読み取って対応し、南宋との貿易などに力を入れて、源頼朝のご家人となった。
12世紀から13世紀にかけて生きた、色定法師という人物は、およそ40年ほどかけて、たった一人で、仏教のすべての法典を合わせた一切経を写経した。
その40巻全てが宗像大社には残されている。個人が書いた一切経で、現在まで残されているのは、この色定法師のものだけだという。そのうちの何巻かが展示されていた。
一人の人間が、その人生の中で、一体どんなことを成し遂げられるのか？その一つの答えが、目の前にあるような気がした。
宗像氏は、戦国時代の末に絶えてしまったが、宗像大社は、その後も権力者たちの庇護を受け、江戸時代には、黒田氏が深い援助を与えていた。
狩野永徳、その弟の安信の手になる三十六歌仙図などは、その厚い庇護をよく表している。
