The paintings that MIYAMOTO Saburo produced in the course of his travels exude a relaxed, cheerful air that sets them apart from his studio work. The many works he painted “on the road,” each one richly evocative of the place that gave birth to it, could be said to form a travelogue that traces the artist’s own life journey. Here we focus on works Miyamoto created during two sojourns in Europe, prewar and postwar, as well as his landscapes of places he visited in Japan.
