"Seishi Nakamoto Exhibition" in 2001

---Sendai mediatheque--- (2001.5.4----2001.5.9)





Message for "Seishi Nakamoto Exhibition" in 2001

He used to say while he was alive, " I want to hold "Individual Exhibitions" at very big places such as a gymnasium and want people to see not only a few works but my whole art works and feel them as a whole."

On May,2001, his dream is going to be realized at Mediathrque in Sendai city Japan. So I hope you will see them.

My thanks and appreciation to all those who have helped to make Nakamoto's works available to the public.

The following letter is from Jiro Uehara an artist and friend Nakamo vastly respected.


Seishi Nakamoto, " An Extraordinary Stat in the North."

His heroic attempt seemed to be interrupted by his early death.

In fact, but it's not, it has already been completed.

His huge and heroic nerve, which conquers the Japanese delicate aesthetic sense, had been shown sufficiently since his early age.

We, the common people simply could not understand it easily.

Taro Okamoto, compared with him, is rather conventional and his works are full of ostentation and pharisaism.

He was the very person who could awaken Japanese Modern Arts into the future.

Even after his death.

We have a considerable amount of things we can learn from him.

His passionate energy, that rises from the ground as a wild man. looked like an ancient man and energetic.

Over the new century, he is still in advance (His spirit still exists among us). But few Japanese people realize about it.

We know we have to take over resuming modern arts shown by him, but it's almost impossible to take over this rough innovation, which is quite different from stars of "What is called Modern Arts".

He is a rising man and a great common man (a genius) and a wild man. Those who laugh at the faults of his works would be small, vulgar and degenerate people. We should learn the nihility that arts show.

He was an enormous man!
