  • The significance of the Japan-Belgium International Print Exchange Exhibition
    　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Asahiko Hiramatsu, Curator

  • 　It is a great honor to open the third Japan-Belgium International Print Exchange Exhibition at this gallery. Because this is a small, private art gallery, the exhibition will unfortunately be divided into two parts. Although it has been only 17 years since this gallery was built, its founder has a varied history. The founder, who is my mother, Teruko Hiramatsu, lived in Krefeld, on the border between Belgium and Germany, for 10 years from 1974 until 1984. She held 30 one-woman exhibitions at German galleries and kunstverein. In Germany there are 300 kunstverein, and knowing that they were the reason for the growth of German modern art, she created an organization called Kunstverein in Japan in 1986. It seems that this mechanism whereby citizens support artists doing avant-garde work will still take more time to gain recognition in Japan.
    　Futhermore, the teacher of my parents, who were painters, was Kazuo Sakata. Sakata went to Europe in 1923 and at Fernand Leger's institute he learned cubism and purism, and developed a deep friendship with Amédée Ozenfant. He returned to Japan and painted abstract works. He is known as a pioneer of Japanese avant-garde painting. After returning to Japan, Sakata created the group AGO (Okayama Avant-garde Cultural Association.) This cultural association, in German, is a kunstverein. In a letter addressed to Hiramatsu, Sakata asked her to take over his activities, and he passed away 2 years later.
    　Culture is a regional thing, but in time it is international. The Japanese traditions of Zen and Buddhism originated in India and came through China to Japan where it developed independently. Ink painting, which has a close relationship to Buddhism, was brought from China by a Zen monk. Japanese art, such as ukiyo-e was a great influence on the painters of European Impressionism. Van Gogh used motifs from ukiyo-e in his oil paintings, and Picasso did ink paintings. On the other hand, European painting also had a great influence in Japan. The exchanges of world of cultures generate a big impression and influence on artists of high sensitivity.
    　And now, there are is a variety of art works in the world. In this gallery there is a collection of European prints, and this year I also opened a German print exhibition. Belgium is also a country where printmaking thrives, and it is a valuable opportunity to see those works. That is not all. To see the works of various countries, is also to know one's own country at the same time. My parents held exhibitions around the world, and this allowed them to look more closely at their native Japan. I do not doubt that both cultures are enhanced by these international exchanges.
