On the 26th of February during this exhibition, Taro Okamoto will have had his 99th birthday.
And then, the next year it would be the centenary after his birth.
Okamoto left footprints as an artist every place of the world.
When he was 19 years old in winter of 1930, Okamoto quitted the faculty of Oil Painting at Tokyo Fine Art School (present Tokyo University of the Fine Arts) to go abroad in Europe together with his parents, to stay in Paris for 10 years by himself, and to absorb the latest knowledge; fine arts, culture, and intelligence.
Taro Okamoto had Solo exhibition in Paris in 1952 and in New York in 1953, exhibited his works at Venezia Biennale 1956, completed “Tomorrow’s Mythology”in Mexico in 1968, produced “Tower of the Sun” on the occasion for the World Exposition Osaka 1970, exhibited “Tree Man” in the Street Gallery Art Festival on Faubourg St. Honore Street in Paris in 1971 and got the prize of Festival King, produced five murals for Palais des Congres in Paris in 1975, and was decorated twice by the French Government.
Taro Okamoto, who made the world his stage, might be eligible to be called as “Worldwide Okamoto”. The reason why Okamoto was “Worldwide” would not be only that the sphere of his activities were international , but also that the level of his intelligence and works achieved global themes.
This exhibition introduces the reason why Okamoto was “Worldwide”, who is 99 years old this year and will have the centenary after his birth next year.
