1931年12月,日本北海道富良野。時年23歲,剛從東京美術學校畢業的東山魁夷入住一家名為「樺之白」的家庭旅館,開始了為期3個月的寫生。
他,被稱為日本畫聖,他的散文與川端康成並稱為二璧。他的畫作高雅蘊藉,充滿詩情哲理,不僅讓人沉醉,還能勾勒出一個完美的世界。他就是日本著名山水畫家、散文家東山魁夷。
東山魁夷Kaii HIGASHIYAMA是當代日本畫的泰斗。自1971年開始為奈良唐招提寺鑒真和尚「御影堂」繪製障壁畫。前後耗費了11年的時間。東山於1975年完成了第一期工程【山雲】、【濤聲】。1980年完成第二期工程【黃山曉雲】、【揚州薰風】、【桂林月霄】等。1981年完成鑒真和尚廚子繪【瑞光】後,大功告成。至此,東山魁夷登上了戰後日本畫的最高峰。
東山繪畫之美,美在淡雅與靜寂。清澄的靜寂中蘊藏著幽深的內涵,濃郁的韻味強烈撼動人心。作品中最注重表現日本情調之美,其精髓可說是大和民族獨具特色的美意識【物哀】與【幽玄】等範疇。一種對自然和人生的深深依戀和淡淡傷感。
東山的此種藝術境界,即是他的人生境界,沿著東山魁夷行進過的迢迢大和路,絢爛之極復歸於平淡。這種人生哲學及美學精神,貫穿東山的整個人生和創作之路,使其繪畫及文字的魅力,經世相傳,走向永遠。
Higashiyama Kaii (東山 魁夷 July 8, 1908 - May 6, 1999) was a Japanese artist. Higashiyama Kaii was born in Yokohama, to parents Kosuke and Higashiyama Kaii. He was given the name Shinkichi, but later changed this to Kaii. He lived from 3 years old to 18 in Kobe.
In 1926 he graduated from Hyogo Prefectural Hyogo High School and entered the Nihon-ga department of Tokyo School of Fine Arts (currently Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music), and graduated with commendation in 1931. In 1940 Higashiyama married Sumi Kawasaki.
In July 1945, Higashiyama was drafted into the army and received anti-tank training. He was demobilized later that year. Higashiyama spent a lot of time travelling, mostly in Japan and China, but also made several trips to Europe. In 1933, he studied German at the Berlin University and in 1962 he travelled around the Nordic countries. In 1947, Higashiyama received the special prize at "Nitten," the largest competition art exhibition in Japan. This led him to pursue seeking his own style, later found as a landscape is his major motif. In 1950, he exhibited a painting "the road," in which his simplicity was well recognized. He traveled northern Europe, Germany, Austria, and China, and drew many works themed the sceneries of these countries.
