Contents of the exhibition
Before and after the opening of the Taro Okamoto Museum of Art, Kawasaki in 1999, there has been a situation that can be said to be the "Taro Okamoto boom" for the past five or six years. Not only the generations who actually went to the Expo in 2070, but also young people who were not yet born at the time met a huge artist named "Taro Okamoto" and received a hot response.
It was surprisingly recently that Taro Okamoto's photographs taken from the '50s to the '60s have attracted attention. It is said that the encounter with photography was in the '30s of the time of studying abroad in Paris. Interactions with famous photographers such as Man Ray and Brassay and being influenced by lectures on anthropology led to later photographic expressions.
After the war, Taro Okamoto, who began to re-start as an artist, went on a journey to look at the innocent figure of humans who are not convinced of the rationalism of modern Japan while producing a huge amount of works through the practice of "discovery of Jomon" and "opposalism". Eventually, the memory of the trip came to fruition as "Rediscover Japan-Art Fudoki" and "Mystery Japan". In the meantime, the Okinawan line before returning to Japan was compiled into "Okinawa Culture Theory = Forgotten Japan", which led to a high evaluation of receiving the Mainichi Publishing Culture Award. |

This exhibition is composed of the concept of "opposalism" as a keyword. "Popposalism" was originally proposed by Taro Okamoto around 1947, and the basic attitude of an artist is to coexist two conflicting elements as they are.
The exhibition of works from two regions, which are completely different in the climate, history and culture of Tohoku and Okinawa, will provide an opportunity to reaffirm his "oppolarism."
Approximately 170 photos carefully selected by photo critic Kotaro Iizawa will be exhibited from more than 20,000 cuts taken in Okinawa, Tohoku, all over Japan, and other countries such as Korea, India, and Mexico. You.
From the Parco Museum in Shibuya, the center of youth culture, this exhibition will provide many people with an opportunity to learn more about Taro Okamoto, not just this boom.
It was like a love for me.
In the ripe yet rough, delicate and intense soul of this ethnicity,
I will be told as much as possible.
