2500年前に生きた孔子の言葉は論語として残されています。その論語の一説には『吾れ、十有五にして学に志す。三十にして立つ。四十にして惑はず。五十にして天命を知る。六十にして耳順ふ。七十にして心の欲する所に従ひて、矩を蹴えず。』(論語)と書かれています。思わず納得してしまう人も多いことでしよう。
「青年期から一若き日の思索」では、作家の制作年齢に注目して作品を展示します。制作時の年齢に注目してみることで生きた時代や環境は違えど共通して根底を流れ
ているものが見えてくるはずです。

Translation

Confucius lived 2500 years ago and his words still remain in the Analects of Confucius. Confucius said in the Analects of Confucius, "I aspired after study when I was 15. I became independent at 30. I threw away my hesitation at 40. I understood my duty of life at 50. I became able to listen to other people's words without prejudice at 60. I became able not to be contrary to morals even though I follow my desire, at 70."(the Analects of Confucius)
“From period of youth—thoughts at young” exhibits works based on the age when the artist produced the work. By noticing how old the artist was when he was working on the specific work, you could be able to find whatever behind remain unchanged regardless of when and where they lived.

もともと版画の技法は複製のための技法でした。版を作り写しとる版画は、線や面が直接描くそれと違います。版板の作り方について分類するならば、凸版・凹版・孔版・平版があります。また、それぞれの技法に、さらに細かい技法があります。たとえば、同じ凹版であっても、ビュランの鋭い彫り跡を摺りとる方法があれば、版に細かい傷を作ってグラデーションを生み出す方法もあります。
紙に直接描かないことから生まれる版画ならではの表現は、魅力となり複製とは違う「版画」というジャンルを生み出しました。

Translation

The technique of block print was first invented as a way of making duplicates. Block print is different from drawing because wood block is carved along a pattern and the pattern is then printed on papers in block print while lines and faces are drawn directly on papers. There are several ways of carving wood block: intaglio, relief, serigraph and lithograph. Each of them has more precise techniques. In intaglio, for instance, some technique requires burin’s sharp carving to be printed whereas some technique is for making gradation by making fine scratches on the block.
The unique expression of block print is created by not being drawn or painted on a paper directly. Block print became so appealing in that it was not merely a duplicating method that it established itself as a genre called “Block Print.”
