Description
| In search of liberation and freedom of the human spirit. Surrealism never ends--! One hundred years ago, in 1924, André Breton published the [Surrealist Manifesto], which launched the most widely influential art movement [Surrealism] in 20th century culture. In Japan, Surrealism became known in the late 1920s and was practiced mainly by young people in the form of translation and poetry. In the 1930s, the practice spread not only to Tokyo, but also to regional urban centers such as Kyoto, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Surrealism, which essentially sought liberation and freedom of the human spirit, eventually became the target of censorship and repression in militaristic Japan in the face of World War II, leading to the arrest and detention of Ichiro Fukuzawa and Shuzo Takiguchi, and the forced self-restraint in expression. In addition, many young painters lost their lives in the intensifying war situation. This book introduces the Japanese Surrealist movement, which was brought to an end just as it was reaching its peak, focusing on paintings from the prewar, wartime, and postwar periods. Although many of the prewar painters have no surviving works, or only a few works listed here are known to exist, we will feature the works of as many painters as possible, in order to gain an overall picture of Surrealism, which has been gradually becoming clearer in recent years. |
