Seiki Kuroda (1866-1924), a famous painter for his rich, lyrical works like “Lakeside”, “Sunbeams Falling Through Leaves” and “Field Poppies”, have been respected as a leader of oil painting in Meiji period. He was born at a family of clansman of Shimazu, Kagoshima.

 

At the age of seventeen, he went to Paris to study law, but changed his major to painting. He studied under a great master of French Academy, Raphael Collin, who gave Kuroda the direction to the Pleinairisme. “Reading” and “A Girl of Brehat” are the fruits of his study in France.

 

In 1893 (Meiji 26), Kuroda came back to Japan and introduced Pleinairisme to the world of oil painters in Japan which needed to be vitalized. His talent as an artist, keen inte11igence and high social background made him an innovator of Japanese oil painting.

 

He maintained the importance of studying nude when the argument arose concerning to “Le Lever (Awaking or Morning Toilet)” by Kuroda.

 

Having organized a painters’ circle “Hakuba-Kai”, and became a teacher of the Tokyo Art School, he taught many artists and pupils.

 

He tried to introduce composed ideal painting by laying “Wisdom, Impression, Sentiment” and “Talk an Ancient Romance” in public. The latter workh as a characteristic of genre, and was very influencial to the later oil painters.

 

This year in the 120th anniversary of Seiki Kuroda’s birth who decided the fate of Japanese oil painting. The purpose of this exhibition is to retrospect and reconsider Kuroda’s works from today’s point of view.

 

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Tokyo National Research Institute of Cultural Propeerties who gave us special cooperation, museums and collectors who kindly loaned these precious paintings, Kao Corporation and all those for their patronage.
