We will be holding an exhibition of works by the artist Ono Motoe (1919-1947), who passed away at the early age of 28. Ono Motoe, who tackled head-on the themes of "What is beauty?" and "What is art?", had a decisive influence on the formation of the artistic spirit of his younger sister, Shimura Fukumi.
Ono Motoe was born in Osaka in 1919 as the eldest son of the Ono family, and studied at Kyoto's Second Industrial Ceramics Department and Bunka Gakuin in Ochanomizu. Although he had hoped to become an independent artist, he contracted tuberculosis and his life ended shortly before he could achieve his goal. His life, in which he devoted his life sincerely to art, overlaps with other artists from the Taisho era who died young, such as Saeki Yuzo, Sekine Shoji, Tezuka Kazuo, Murayama Kaita, and Hasegawa Toshiyuki.
This exhibition will feature eight of Ono Motoe's representative works. What was the thought behind the fiery painting of Vermilion that he painted at the risk of his life? Don't miss this opportunity to see the actual paintings.
