Dōmoto Inshō: Master of Modern Kyoto Nihonga Painting
2025.10.07 tue. - 11.24 mon.
Dōmoto Inshō (1891-1975) was a Japanese style painter who was primarily active in government-spon-sored exhibitions. These included the first edition of the Teiten (Imperial Art Exhibition) in 1919, in which Dōmoto made his debut with Landscape at Fukakusa, Southern District of Kyoto. The artist received a special prize several years later for Chinese Court Women Playing Football at the third iteration of the event, and the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts Prize for Sudhana's Pilgrimage to the Fifty-five Saints at the sixth exhibition. Although Dōmoto's work was characterized by detailed representational paint-ings, he later adopted an abstract style after moving to Europe at the age of 60, realizing a style of abstraction defined by his vigorous brushstrokes. This major retrospective, designed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dōmoto's death, looks back at his career through some of his most prominent works, including those that were shown at government exhibitions, presenting a complete picture of the artist, who attained national fame as a master in the Kyoto art world.
