Within the diverse oeuvre of Western-style painter MIYAMOTO Saburo (1905-1974), this show takes a look at his portrayals of human figures in indoor settings. They range from the strikingly ornamental figure paintings he produced in his Okusawa studio to intimate depictions of his own family and their life as wartime evacuees from Tokyo. Also introduced are still lifes that exemplify the descriptive power of Miyamoto’s work.
