In his paintings, KIYOKAWA Taiji (1919–2000) pursued his own forms of abstract expression without concerning himself with literal representation of the subject. Kiyokawa spent fifty productive years working in his beloved atelier in Tokyo’s Seijo district, where he built a combined house and studio in 1949. We hope this presentation of works he painted there and materials related to the building itself will conjure up the atmosphere of Kiyokawa’s atelier as he experienced it.
