蔵の町
近江八幡は500年前に開かれ、琵琶湖から引いた水路で人や物が行き交い栄えた城下町で、今もその頃の面影が遺る水郷の町です。
作品を見ていると緑に囲まれた水路から立ちのぼる少し湿った空気を感じ、思いきり肺の奥深くまで呼吸したくなるようです。
この作品は1986年、41才の井堂雅夫が制作したものです。50代60代の作品になるにつれ細部にわたる精緻さや色使いの華やかさが増して行くのに比べて、人柄にも通じる素朴さと温かさを感じて愛着のある作品です。
“Town of Warehouses”
Omi Hachiman was a castle town that
flourished 500 years ago when it was opened and people and goods came and went
by waterways drawn from Lake Biwa.
Looking at the work, one can feel the
slightly humid air rising from the waterway surrounded by greenery, and it
makes one want to breathe deep into one's lungs.
This work was created by Masao Ido in 1986
at the age of 41, compared to works by artists in their fifties and sixties, in
which the exquisiteness of the details and the gorgeous use of colors increase,
Masao Ido's works have a simplicity and warmth that make them endearing, just
as his personality does.
