" LOST IN REVERIE " (MARBLE). BY KITAMURA SHIKAI
(Seventh Mombusho Art Exhibition)
of a Hammer in the Mountain by Tamura Goko,
and House in a Pine Forest by Matsubayashi
Keigetsu. _
The paintings in the second division (European
style) were characterised by new and daring
attempts, though there were some more or less con-
servative in treatment as well as in execution.
There were several in this division which received
wide and favourable comments. Among the
paintings by members of the Art Committee, the
following deserve special mention : Posing for the
First Time by Takenouchi Seiho of Kyoto ; A Riot
of Colours by Terazaki Kogyo of Tokyo; Spring
Journey : at a Post-house by Konoshima Okoku of
Kyoto, a newly appointed member of the Mom-
busho Art Committee; The Evening Moon by
Kawai Gyokudo of Tokyo; Four Seasons by
Yamamoto Shunkyo of Kyoto; Vista through the
Pine Trees by Yokoyama Taikwan of Tokyo.
Marvellous dexterity in the use of the brush was
shown in Takenouchi Seiho's picture of a girl
336
posing for the first time, reluctant to cast off her
kimono. Here the artist has endeavoured to ex-
press the girl's feeling of timidity on her first
venture in the new profession; her body shrinks
behind the kimono which she holds in front of her.
Equally attractive was the series of four paintings by
Terazaki Kogyo called A Riot of Colours and
representing Chinese women playing on different
musical instruments. The pictures were painted
on sheets of Chinese paper, while nearly all the other
paintings in this exhibition were on silk. In his
easy and unpretentious lines, and in the application
of colours, this artist seems to have indicated a
new possibility in our methods of painting. The
Spring Journey: at a Post-house, demonstrated
Konoshima Okoku's hitherto unrecognised ability
to deal with the human figure; as a landscape
painter he had won recognition in previous Mom-
busho exhibitions. The present painting, which
forms a pair of six-panelled screens, though full of
" GOLD DUST " (WOOD SCULPTURE)
