Art of Suda Kunitarō:
Three Gazes Beyond the 130th Birth Anniversary and 60th Death Anniversary

Overview

SUDA Kunitaro (1891-1961) was not only a scholar of aesthetics and art history, but also an artist who pursued the ambitious objective of “synthesizing Eastern and Western painting.” The works in this exhibition range from his most acclaimed oil paintings, to photographs he took in Spain and elsewhere during his prewar sojourn in Europe, to drawings that testify to his deep understanding of the dramatic arts of Noh and Kyogen. Viewers can also enjoy his unique collection of “Glico toys,” rounding out a multifaceted look at Suda and his art through some 410 works and materials.
