黒田清輝記念室 Kuroda Memorial Hall

上野公園を散歩していたら、近代洋画の父”黒田清輝”記念館を見付けたので入ってみた。

なんとタダ! あの有名な”湖畔”など、印象的な絵がたくさんあった。

When walked around Ueno park, I found Kurada Memorial Hall. Kuroda Seiki is often considered the farther of modern Western-style painting in Japan. For free ! Wow ! I entered..

There were a lot of impressive paintings, which included a famous pituture " Lake side". 

黒田さんは、9年間に渡るフランス留学中、明るい外光を取り入れた印象派的な視覚を学んだ。

そして日本帰国後、日本にそれまで知られていなかった外光表現をもたらし、その背後のリベラルな精神と思想と共に大きな影響を与えたんだって。だから近代洋画の父と呼ばれるんだね。

During his nene-year stay in France, he aquired an Impressionist vision that incorporated bright outdoor light.

Returning to Japan, he brought with him this representation of outdoor light which had until then not been known in Japan. Along with the liberal spirit and philosophy of which it was a part, this style poved to be highly influential.  That's why he is called " father of modern Western-style paintings" in Japan.

留学で得たことを日本に合う形で根付かせてたっていうのは本当にすごいなあ。

I was impressived the truth that he made his acquirement in France root in Japan !!  

木曜日と土曜日にタダで公開されているので、上野公園に行く際は是非寄ってみて下さい♪

It's open on Thursday and Saturday for free ! So, stop off at the corner of Ueno Park !
