Gutai |
Japanese avant-garde group formed in 1954 in Osaka by Yoshihara Jiro,
Shimamoto Shozo, and joined by
Shiraga Kazuo, Tanaka Atsuko. For the introduction of the first exhibition, Yoshihara wrote;
"Whether this is art or not, it does not seem to matter" to
manifest this radical art movement.
In fact, the wilde perfomances by Shiraga who challenged himself
half naked in a pile of mud and
Murakami who ran through the paper screens, became known to overseas as a link to Informel
movement of the period. Gutai is considered as one of the most important
moments of post-war
Japanese culture. Other members are Nsaka Yuko, Takasaki Motonao and others.
As it was radical,
its lifespan was short and the Gutai Art Association dissolved in 1972 following the death of Yoshihara,
yet it had actually survived till 1958 when the last group exhibition
was held for the second time.
In 1994, there was a retrospective exhibition at Pompidou Centre and the
Gutai movement is considered
as the representative art movement of Japan after 1945.
In the 21st century, Gutai movement is newly evaluated and many exhibition
are held all over world. |
1954 年7月、以吉原治良、吉田稔郎，嶋本昭三為首、再於翌年與白髪一雄、田中敦子、以活化戦後美術為目的
組成組織。 55年10月的第一回合同展的説明中、吉原以「這是否美術？怎也好吧。」作尖鋭的藝術運動宣言。
白髪一雄在泥の中半裸作畫、村上三郎穿過紙張作表演、同時期的「非定型藝術」亦受海外注目。
這藝術運動曾引起回響但短暫、雖「具體美術協會」於72 年吉原治良逝世之後仍繼續存在、但其於58年的第二回
合同展後完結。 94 年於 Centre Pompidou 主辧「超越境界」 展、Gutai 就代表着戰後的日本美術。
21 世紀的現代、具體運動作爲蔕領抽象世界的運動得到新的評價、也開始舉辮具體美術展覽會。 |

Nasaka is an artist who connects to the global movement of informel painting,
and the
Gutai group, which promptly appeared in the internationally open context
of a post-war
Japan. Part of Gutai's second generation, she was an artist who breathed
new life into
the group. A work consisting of repeated concentric circles, in relief,
created with resin
and aluminium, and other such new industrial materials.
Even amongst other Gutai artists, the spatial composition of Nasaka's work
in paticular
gave one a sense of openness, with an Asian sensibility. She is widely
considered an
artist who represents Gutai's middle period. |
