福井出身の日本画家・米谷清和は県立高志高等学校卒業後、多摩美術大学日本画学科へ進学します。そこは絵の講評そっちのけで横山操、加山又造ら教師陣が芸術論や人間論を戦わせる実に魅力的な空間だったといいます。在学中、横山に見込まれ横山操奨学金で渡欧した米谷は、そこで過去の巨匠の技術には到底及ばないと絶望に近い諦めを感じます。しかし、それでも絵が好きな自分を自覚し、過去でも未来でもない今の時代を生きる自分にしか描けないものに真正面から向かい合い、感じたままを精一杯描いてゆこうと決心します。迷いを捨てて描いた《エレベータ》は日展に初入選し、「新しいタイプの絵」として世に紹介されました。

Yonetani Kiyokazu's "Elevator":
A Journey of Artistic Revelation

Hailing from Fukui, Kiyokazu Yonetani embarked on a transformative artistic journey that would ultimately redefine the boundaries of Japanese painting. After graduating from Koshi Prefectural High School, he pursued his passion for the arts at Tama Art University, where he was immersed in an intellectually stimulating environment under the mentorship of luminaries such as Misao Yokoyama and Matazou Kayama.

During his tenure at Tama Art University, Yonetani's artistic vision was profoundly influenced by a pivotal experience in Europe, courtesy of the Yokoyama Misao Scholarship. Confronted with the mastery of past artistic luminaries, Yonetani grappled with a sense of resignation and existential doubt. Yet, amidst this existential turmoil, he discovered a renewed passion for drawing - a fervor that would propel him towards a groundbreaking artistic endeavor.

With unwavering determination, Yonetani embarked on a quest to encapsulate the essence of the present moment through his artistry. Elevator, a testament to his newfound artistic ethos, made its debut at the prestigious Nitten Exhibition, where it garnered acclaim as a harbinger of a “new type of painting.” In this captivating work, Yonetani deftly captures the essence of modernity, imbuing his creation with a sense of dynamism and vitality that resonates with viewers on a profound level.

Through Elevator, Yonetani invites audiences to embark on a visual odyssey—an exploration of the intersection between past, present, and future. With each brushstroke, he challenges the confines of tradition, offering a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of contemporary Japanese artistry.

米谷清和 电梯

出生于福井的日本画家米谷清和从福井县立高中毕业后，考入多摩美术大学日本画专业。那里可以说是横山操、加山又造等教师们抛开绘画批评，就艺术论、人性论展开交锋的充满魅力的地方。在多摩美术大学就读期间，十分推崇横山操的米谷清和获得横山操奖学金前往欧洲留学。在欧洲，他感受到画坛过去的艺术巨匠们技艺精湛，自身难以望其项背，从而产生了近乎绝望、想要放弃绘画的想法。但是，他发现自己即便如此依然对绘画充满热忱，明白了并非生活在过去或未来，而是活在当下的自己拥有只有现在的自己才能画出的画作，于是下定决心要拼尽全力投入绘画事业当中。他斩断迷茫后完成的《电梯》，是他首次入选日本美术展览会的画作，向世界宣告“新流派画作”的诞生。

米谷清和 電梯

米谷清和是福井出身的日本畫家，畢業於縣立高志高中後，進入多摩美術大學日本畫系學習。據傳那是一個充滿魅力的地方，橫山操、加山又造等教師們經常把繪畫講評拋之腦後，而對藝術論和人類論展開辯論。在學期間，米谷受到橫山的賞識，獲得橫山操奨學金前往歐洲，在那裡，他為自己無論如何也達不到過去大師的技藝高度而近乎感到絕望。然而即便如此，他依然意識到自己熱愛繪畫，於是決定不再拘泥於過去和未來，而是活在當下，直面只有當下的自己才能描繪的事物，盡力畫出自己的感受。他走出迷茫期後創作的《電梯》首次入選日展，被介紹為「新類型畫作」。
