「神戸ゆかりの美術館」の展覧会「エトランゼの旅物語‐画家たちの異国風景」。特に第二次大戦の作品は玉石混淆(ぎょくせきこんとう)。海外に行くことが難しかった戦前に、神戸ゆかりの作家が何人ヨーロッパに行くことができたかを考えると、それも仕方がないかも。「行くことに意義があった時代」かもしれない。
Exhibition “étranger” at Kobe Artists Museum. The quality of paintings, especially those created before World War II, varies, which is totally understandable. I mean, how many artists of those days were fortunate enough to go to Europe from Japan? The museum collects works by artists who were born and/or lived in Kobe.
