The painter KIYOKAWA Taiji (1919-2000) traveled to the United States in 1951 and spent three years there, then visited Europe and Asia. Wherever he went, Kiyokawa took scrupulously composed color photos of buildings, plazas, rivers, and people. Color photography of overseas subjects was a novelty in Japan at the time, so Kiyokawa’s images were of significant value. Here his photographs are displayed together with paintings he produced during the same period.
