    マグリットの「大家族」を見たくて訪れた。完全な抽象絵画は好きではないが、マグリットのように部分、部分はリアリズムなのに全体のテーマが謎めいている絵は何となく惹かれる。コレクション展では、ほかにも何点かいい作品があった。企画展の方は「リヒテンシュタインの至宝展」を開催していたが、こちらは肖像画や宗教画が多く、今ひとつ好きにはなれなかった。

    監視人の女性たちは殆どがアルバイトですが、鑑賞している最中の目線がキツイ。まるで、罪悪人を見る視線で、落ち着いて鑑賞できない。せっかく隣の県から訪ねたのに、おもてなしができていない。最後には、男性職員が、2人、出口から入ってきて、ジロリと一喝、とっても感じ悪ーという、なんて日だ!

    子どもたちに読み聞かせを行っていた本の著者の美術館に行ってきました。豊かな自然の中にある、綺麗な美術館でした。いわむらかずお先生がちょうどいらして、レストランにて先生がスタッフの方々と談笑される姿をしばらく眺める事もできました。広く静かなスペースに絵や本が展示されていて、じっくりと楽しむ事ができます。また、レストランにて軽食を頂きました。心癒される環境だと思います。

    Tochigi Kanuma-shi Mutsumicho 287-14
    This art museum was founded in 1992 with the donation of some 2,000 works of art from Katsusaburo Hasegawa (1912-2001), a Kanuma City native who was a student of Kawakami Sumio. The museum was built with fukaiwa stone quarried in Kanuma. Its exterior, which resembles the western-style buildings of the Meiji period, was designed based on one of Kawakami's woodblock prints. Its interior was finished with generous amounts of wood. The museum rotates its exhibits four times per year, allowing visitors to explore a variety of different themes.

    がっしりとした立派な体躯の持ち主で、若き日には北米の缶詰工場で肉体労働をされた事も、又教師時代は確か野球部の部長も長く続けられたという男の中の男という写真ではニコリともしない風貌の川上澄生画伯だが…その感性はガラス細工のようであったような気がするのである。 氏の作品のファンで版画も二点所有、で長年この美術館を訪れたく思っていたが東京からあと一足伸ばすのがなかなか勇気のいる事で先延ばしになっていた...

    "This museum dedicated to fairy-themed art is located on the east side of the Nikko Futarasan-Jinja shrine. On the fifth floor of Utsunomiya Omotesando Square, the museum displays fairy-inspired ceramics and paintings. The beautiful stained-glass artwork near the entrance was designed by videogame and anime character designer Yoshitaka Amano. The museum was created in 2003 in order to ""make Utsunomiya a charming city which fosters dreams"" after prominent fairy researcher Kimie Imura offered to donate rare, historically valuable items concerning fairies. The adjoining museum shop sells notepads and clear files bearing Amano's stained-glass artwork design, and more."
