行ってきました！！ オープン二日目、連休中日ということもあり、ものすごい人出。モネ人気をなめてましたわ。進まない列を、押されながらも、じっくり鑑賞。印象派と称される以前の、わりとリアルな絵を描いていた時代がモネにもあって、面白かった。初夏のセーヌのほとりのパリの様子を描いたものも素晴らしかった。
「100％モネ。」という、一人の作家に的を絞った展示は珍しい。モネの人生と、その時々に描いた絵とを、比べて考えてみても面白い。こういうのって、後世の人がする後付けっていうだけかもしれないけれど。フォーレも、両親が相次いで亡くなった時にレクイエム（鎮魂歌）を書いて、「両親に捧げるものか」、とか、「だから、その当時普通だったレクイエムの重厚で悲哀に満ちた形式から軽く明るめな形式にしたのか」とか、外野からの憶測はたくさんある。しかしその意図は、フォーレ本人のみぞ知ることである…。
閑話休題。企画展ショップも、行列がずらーーーーっと、階段の下まで。これはちょっとむり…という感じ。たいていのグッズはオンラインショップでも買えますってよ！！
都会だけど、中之島のあたりは空も大きく見えて気持ちいいなー。
Went to the Monet exhibition taking place in Osaka now. There was an incredible turnout as it was on the second day of the opening and during the holiday weekend. I underestimated the popularity of Monet. Despite being pushed by others while in the non-moving lines, I took my time to admire the artworks. It was interesting to see Monet's earlier works, which were relatively realistic before he was dubbed an Impressionist. The ones depicting early summer scenes along the Seine in Paris were also magnificent.
An exhibition like this is rare which focused solely on one artist, titled "100% Monet". It's intriguing to compare Monet's life with the paintings he created at different times. It might just be hindsight from future generations, but there are plenty of speculations from outsiders which try to relate artists's thoughts, circumferences, and their works. Like when Faure wrote a Requiem when his parents passed away one after the other, people wondered, "Was it dedicated to his parents?" or "Did he opt for a lighter style from the traditional solemn and mournful Requiem of the time because ...?" However, only Faure himself knew the true intention.
Anyway. The exhibition shop also had an extremely long line stretching all the way down the stairs. It felt a bit overwhelming, so we did not join the line. Most of the goods can be purchased online too!
The area around Nakanoshima is urban but feels refreshing with its wide open skies.
