Gogh exhibition at Kyushu National Museum (ゴッホ展/九州国立博物館) [お出かけ]
ゴッホの絵はこれまで何度か見た事があるものの、ゴッホにスポットを当てた展示というのは初めてだったので見に行ってきました。
I've ever been watching Gogh's paintings. But I went to the exhibition, because it was focused on Gogh.
九州国立博物館。2005年10月に建設されたばかりの新しい博物館です。この建物自体を見る事も今回の目的でした。
Kyushu national museum, which was built in Oct 2005. The other purpose was to watch this brand-new museum.
エントランスホール。日本の伝統的な木組みを思わせる装飾が目を引きました。
私の祖父は宮大工でしたが、こういった木組みは釘を一切使わないで組上げます。点での接合ではなく、面の接合なので丈夫なのでしょうね。
Entrance hall. That decoration seems to Japanese traditional timberwork.
My grand-father was "Miya-daiku" (a traditional carpenter who is specialist to make temples or shrines), so I saw his work, those timberwork is made without nails.
I think that is sturdy because it was made of face-joining, not point-joining.
(Today's English composition is a bit difficult for me. :p)
これは… たしか博多どんたくの飾り物じゃなかったかな? よく覚えてないけど桃太郎であることは確か(笑)
This is... If I remember correctly, It's a decoration for "Hakata dontaku" (a famous festival of Hakata)
The doll of right side is "Momotaro".
ゴッホの絵を載せる事ができなくて非常に残念ですが、ゴッホが他の絵描きから素直に学ぼうとする心が、あの独創的な荒々しいタッチを生み出したということが分かりました。
I'm afraid I can't put the paintings of Gogh to this article. Imagine it.
I understood that Gogh's bold, rough and creativeness touch was born from his honest mind which wants to learn from other painters.
(got it? :p difficult to make Eng...)
近くにある太宰府天満宮にお参りしてから帰りました。
I came home after I visited to "Dazaifu-tenman-guu" which is near the museum.
This is an entry for Show Me Japan
You did a great job explaining it in English! Many people say that van Gogh's paintings reflect his mental illness, most probably bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
I am very interested in learning more about your grandfather and his work as a traditional carpenter!!! It would be great if you could write a blog post about him! :-)

I echo Anna's sentiment. It would be great to know more about your grandfather and his craft. :)

★Good afternoon, Anna-san!
I'm glad to hear that. ^^
This exhibition was exhibited in time series. In early days, he painted a lot of study paintings. I was looking forward to see his characteristic touch appearing. I saw it on his days of Paris, which was a picture of flower for studying color paintings.
I didn't know his state of mind when he painted it, but I realized that his touch was born in a lot of study.
Though, I felt his paintings in late life is acute and dark.
My grandfather went to the heaven in a long time ago, but I'd like to write it if I could find out his history or something. :)

★Good afternoon, lina-san!
When I was a stupid kid, I didn't notice about grandfather's greatness.
I found my work for my blog by your comment. ^^;;;

birdさん、こんにちは。
ゴッホは晩年の鮮やかな色彩の作風の作品が好きです。
色を重ねたタッチもいいですよね。

★Yoshitakaさん、こんにちは!
今回の展示では習作の展示も多かったのですが
あの独特の作風に至るまで、結構努力したんだなと
思いました。
宝石も磨く努力が必要という事で、収穫のある展示会でした ^^

太宰府天満宮！ 高校の修学旅行で行きましたー。
うめがえもち以外は全く記憶がありませんが…。
ゴッホ展は盛況でしたか？
東京とかの展覧会は混んで混んで。
地方に旅行がてら展覧会を観るっていうのもいいなぁ。
今、めちゃめちゃ旅に出たい気持ちなんで、なおさら。

★ヨンタロー♀さん、こんばんは!
普通の土曜日だったんですが、結構混んでました〜 XD
1枚1枚立ち止まって見る私としては遠目から見ないと
ゆっくり見られませんでした。
まあ人が多い福岡だし予想はしていたんですけどね ^^;
旅いいですね〜。こちらも新幹線が来月開通するので
ちょっと乗ってみたいなと思ってます。

鬼が桃太郎に突き落とされたの図でしょうか？一見逆さ吊りにも見えてちょっとかわいそうですね...。天井にある竹（？）の枠組み（？）も日本風でとても良い雰囲気です。
お疲れさまでした。

★Yoshiさん、こんばんは!
そういえば鬼が一番目立ってる写真ですね!
裏側には金太郎も居た気がするなと思いつつ調べてみたら
ありました(汗)
