2. Lecture content [Summary] Strategy of Japanese painter Nozomi Kodama This fall, the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of Art is holding an exhibition entitled “Kodama Hope, the Essence of Modern Japanese Painting – Ever-changing, Astonishing Brush Power” (October 4th to December 1st). This exhibition is a retrospective of Nozomi Kodama (1898-1971), a native of Hiroshima Prefecture and one of the great masters who led the Japanese art world in the Showa era. Based on the techniques of the Kano school and Shijo school that he learned from his master Kawai Gyokudo, Nozomi Kodama created Buddhist paintings, Northern Song paintings, Yamato paintings, flower and bird paintings, Ukiyo-e, historical paintings, oil paintings, Western paintings, ink paintings, and abstract paintings. He is known for having developed a wide variety of paintings that transcended painting schools, styles, and subjects, making it hard to believe that he was the work of a single artist. This exhibition will introduce Kibo’s painting career as a whole, with a focus on his representative works. In addition, by displaying the works of artists with whom he was closely associated, including his master Gyokudo, the leading figure in the art world Yokoyama Taikan, and his ally Shinsui Ito, we will explore the reasons for the development of the painting industry and highlight the path of hope in the history of modern Japanese painting. . In this seminar, we will introduce the footsteps of Nozomi Kodama, who possessed the courage to change without fear, a clear intellect, and continued to open up the possibilities of his own art and Japanese painting through his overwhelming painting skills.
