“璀璨的星空”——日本当代大师名家纸本与版画作品展

回溯日本现代艺术发展的历程，二战应该是一个极重要的结点。战后，日本处在逐渐恢复国际政治与经济地位的阶段，对欧美艺术思潮的崇拜日趋凸显，战后的日本艺术面临两个议题：一方面艺术家们拒绝再与战争时期的旧体制合作，也就是对日本传统艺术有着革命精神而趋于外来艺术； 另一方面，他们也渴求日本作为独立国家的自主性，希望在艺术中找到民族意识，这就意味着同时也拒斥对欧美的盲目崇拜。

在日本文化最迷茫最矛盾的时期， 吉原治良站出来，吉原创立的"具体派"试图以大量的具体派创作的实践来解决这个问题。吉原治良曾如此介绍具体派：“我们希望以一种具体的方式来呈现我们精神自由的证据，我们将上下求索，从所有类型的艺术创作当中寻找兴奋点。”这一点启发了纠结于外来还是本土艺术的青年艺术家，真正为日本现代艺术指明了一条出路，他们的作品不再被印着欧洲抽象派的烙印，而是真正的日本现代艺术流派！

正是具体派的艺术主张和精神，对日本“物派”形成产生了重要的推动作用，他引领日本艺术发展在回应西方艺术的同时也影响了西方艺术，并对世界当代艺术的发展也起到了极其重要的作用。

“这个男人的成功在于他曾以具体派反对欧洲现代艺术对日本文化的入侵，而40年后，受他启蒙的日本现当代艺术家正在进入世界！”比如，白发一雄、元永定正、松谷武判、山口长男、草间弥生、关根伸夫、菅木志雄等等...日本现代艺术的星空，群星璀璨。

索美画廊于2020年6月6日-6月26日举办“璀璨的星空”——日本当代大师名家纸本与版画作品展，藉以画廊收藏的三十余幅吉原治良、松谷武判、关根伸夫、山口长男、元永定正等大师小品，仰望经典，致敬大师。

Gorgeous Starry Sky

Exhibition of paper and print works by Contemporary Japanese masters

Looking back on the development of Japanese contemporary art, World War II should be an extremely important node. After the war, Japan was at the stage of gradually restoring the international political and economic system. The worship of European and American art trends became more and more prominent. The post-war Japanese art faced two singles: these artists refused to cooperate with the old system during the war. It is the revolutionary spirit of Japanese traditional art that tends to alien art; at the same time, they are also eager to seek the independence of Japan as an independent country and hope to discover national consciousness in art, which means that they also reject blind worship of Europe and America .

In the most confused and contradictory period of Japanese culture, Yoshihara Jiro stood up, and the "concrete school" founded by Yoshihara Jiro tried to solve this problem with a large number of concrete practice. Yoshihara Jiro once introduced the concrete faction: "We hope to present the evidence of our spiritual freedom in a specific way. We will search up and down to find excitement from all types of artistic creation." Young artists of local arts have really pointed out a way out for Japanese modern art. Their works are no longer branded with the European abstract art, but a real Japanese modern art school!

It is the artistic proposition and spirit of the concrete school that have played an important role in promoting the formation of the Japanese "art school." He led the development of Japanese art in response to Western art and also influenced Western art. To an extremely important role.

"The success of this man lies in his opposition to the invasion of Japanese culture by modern European art with concrete factions, and 40 years later, Japanese modern and contemporary artists who were enlightened by him are entering the world!" Kazuo Shiragai, Sadamasa Motonaga, Takesada Matsutani, Takeo Yamaguchi, Yayoi Kusama,Nobuo Sekine,Suga Kishio, etc. The stars of Contemporary Japanese art are gorgeous.
