Drawings for Nihonga: The Preparatory Drawings and Sketches of Takeuchi Seiho

Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art

This event has ended.

In nihonga, preparatory drawings allow us to see the forms of the process of trial and error that artists go through to arrive at a completed picture. Most are without color and instead utilize the drawn lines from which the special qualities of the painter’s picture manifests. In this exhibition, through the preparatory drawings and sketches of Kyoto’s modern nihonga representative, Seiho Takeuchi, the elements leading to the movements that can be seen between pictures, their assemblage and combination are sought in order to discover the attractions of Seiho’s art.
