MIGISHI KOTARO MUSEUM OF ART, HOKKAIDO

MIGISHI KOTARO（1903～1934）

Migishi Kotaro was born in Sapporo in 1903, and died at the age of 31 in 1934.

He continued to change his style of painting throughout his short life as an artist, reflecting contemporary trends in art. But as well as his ambitious ventures into new styles, his own poetic sentiment and delicate sensibility, found in all his works, make him a prominent artist in the history of modern Japanese art.

His early works with a naïve predilection such as “Girl holding a lemon”(1923) and “Brother and his eldest daughter”(1924) were widely appreciated and drew much attention.
	“Girl holding a lemon”(1923)

	“Woman with a red shawl”(1924)
Traveling China in 1926, he was stimulated by the European culture in the colonial city of Shanghai. That led him to sublimate his romantic nature to a series of works depicting clowns and marionettes with touches of Fauvism from 1928 to 1932.
	“Chinees girl”(1926)

	“Marionette”1930

	“Clown”(1932)
From the end of 1932, interested in Avant-Gard painting, he tried the abstract style, and a remarkable method scratching a thick-painted surface (“Orchestra” 1933).
	“Orchestra” 1933
In his last year, he showed an inclination to Surrealism, particularly painting butterflies and seashells. Just before his death, he set about building his atelier. Before its completion, however, he succumbed to disease.
	“Flying butterfly” 1934

	“Carefree shellfish” 1934
