He worked on developing a style pursuing modernism and later years he produced a series of landscape paintings inspired by the deep contemplation of nature while trying new styles one after another. With his gentle and reliable personality, he carried on exchanges with many artists regardless of their style being Western or Japanese and regardless of them being members of an artistic organization. <br \/>As the first retrospective exhibition dedicated to this artist, this exhibit displays the masterpieces Seihyo painted through the years, as well as some of his sketches and honga (paintings realized on Japanese washi paper). Some of these artworks come from our museum collection, but most of the items displayed have been kindly provided by the Japan Art Institute and many other museums and private collectors. <br \/>After the war Seihyo chose to not display any of his artworks at galleries and exhibitions anymore. This makes this exhibition a precious opportunity to see his artworks all gathered in a single gallery. It is an unmissable chance to come and admire all the works he produced during his 70 years of activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>19<span style=\"font-family: MS PGothic;\">\u00a0March 2016-17\u00a0May 2016<br \/><\/span><\/strong><strong>Venue<\/strong>\u00a0: Arts Maebashi<br \/><strong>Open hours<\/strong>\u00a0: 11:00-19:00 (entry up to 30 minutes before closing)\u00a0<br \/>Closed on Wednesdays<br \/><strong>Admission<\/strong>:<br \/>Adult 500 (300) yen, University students, Over 65 years old 300 yen.\u00a0<br \/>Free for High school students and Under.<br \/>\u30fbFares in brackets are rates for groups of 10 more.<br \/>\u30fbFree entrance on\u00a010 April\u00a0for festival of TUNAGARIZUMU.<br \/>\u30fbFree entrance on\u00a07\u00a0May for the anniversary of TANAKA Seihyo&#8217;s death.<br \/>\u30fbEntrance between 17:00-18:30: 300 yen<br \/><strong>Organizer<\/strong>: Arts Maebashi<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/3895e3b97e7250d56f357bc6e31e47a1-e1454491786302.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u82b1\u306b\u3088\u308b\u5c11\u597303\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/3895e3b97e7250d56f357bc6e31e47a1-e1454491786302.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><br \/>&#8220;A Girl Approaches Flowers&#8221;, 1929, Kumamoto Prefectural Museum of Art<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/8ff310b7d48c0c62f082218e9662e883-e1454492111856.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u5b54\u96c003\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/8ff310b7d48c0c62f082218e9662e883-e1454492111856.jpg\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>&#8220;Peacocks&#8221;, 1932, Eisei-Bunko Museum<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/5018190092ac598bcb71817173c7a2d2-e1454491901325.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u6d45\u9593\u9ad8\u539f\uff08\uff15\uff0903\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/5018190092ac598bcb71817173c7a2d2-e1454491901325.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" \/><\/a><br \/>&#8220;Asama Highlands(\u2164)&#8221;, 1980, Arts Maebashi<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u3010Past Exhibition\u3011 Seihyo Tanaka was a Japanese artist active at the Nihon Bijutsuin(Japan Art Institute) durin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2],"class_list":["post-1518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exhibition","tag-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1518\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
