人間精神の解放と自由を求めて。
シュルレアリスムは終わらない！
www.seigensha....
今から100年前の1924年、アンドレ・ブルトンが「シュルレアリスム宣言」を発表し、20世紀の文化にもっとも幅広く影響を及ぼした芸術運動「シュルレアリスム」が創始されました。日本では、1920年代後半に知られ始め、若者たちを中心に翻訳や詩の実践が行われ、絵画の領域では古賀春江、福沢一郎といった画家が、不可思議で超現実的イメージを日本の画壇に導入して注目されました。30年代には東京のみならず、京都、名古屋、福岡など地方都心にも波及していきます。
本来的に人間精神の解放と自由を求めたシュルレアリスムは、やがて第二次世界大戦に直面し、軍国主義下の日本において検閲や弾圧の対象となり、福沢一郎や瀧口修造の検挙・勾留、そして表現の自粛を迫られることになります--。また激化する戦況の中、多くの画家たちの若い命が失われました。
本書では、最盛期を迎えようとする矢先に収束させられた「日本のシュルレアリスム運動」を戦前・戦中・戦後を通して、芸術家たち約90名の絵画を中心に紹介します。戦前においては、現存作品がない、あるいは本書に挙げる数点しか確認できない画家も少なくありませんが、なるべく多くの画家の作品を取り上げて、昨今、次第に明らかになってきたシュルレアリスムの全体像に迫ります。

The 100th Anniversary of “Manifeste du Surréalisme”: Surrealism and Japan
en.seigensha.c...
Striving to free the human spirit: the undying legacy of Surrealism.
One hundred years ago in 1924, the publication of Manifeste du surréalisme by André Breton marked the birth of one of the most widely influential art movements of the twentieth century. In Japan, Surrealism began to spread in the late 1920s, first among mostly young poets who translated and experimented with Surrealist verse, and later among painters such as Koga Harue and Fukuzawa Ichiro who became noted for their fantastical, enigmatic imagery. By the 1930s the movement had made its way beyond Tokyo to regional cities such as Kyoto, Nagoya, and Fukuoka.
That, however, was before the movement-which at its heart strove to liberate the human spirit-came up against the harsh realities of World War II. Under the militarist regime of the time, Surrealism became a target of censorship and oppression. Fukuzawa and art critic Takiguchi Shuzo were arrested, and many others were forced to keep their artistic impulses in check; as the war intensified, moreover, many young artists lost their lives in the fighting. And so it was that the Japanese Surrealist movement was cut short just as it was coming into full flower.
This book surveys Surrealism in Japan from prewar to postwar, with a focus on paintings. The works of many prewar Surrealist painters have since been lost, or nearly lost save for the few pictured in these pages; still, every effort has been made to cover as many artists as possible in order to map out the full scope of Japanese Surrealism as it has come to light in recent years.
