Was there such a wonderful painter in Japan from the Meiji to Taisho era? Anyone who sees Watanabe Seitei's works will feel that way. He was the first Japanese painter to travel to France to participate in the Paris World Exposition in 1878. Although he was highly acclaimed both at home and abroad as a master of bird and flower painting during his lifetime, he was gradually forgotten after his death, and Watanabe Seitei is now a painter who is "known only to those in the know." In recent years, there has been a growing momentum for reevaluation among researchers and art lovers, and Seitei's work is gaining attention. In March 2021, the Tokyo University of the Arts Museum will hold the first retrospective exhibition in Japan, "Watanabe Seitei - Flower and Bird Paintings that Captivated Europe and the United States". This book will be published as the official guidebook to the exhibition. Approximately 100 works are published in full color, from masterpieces held by overseas art museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art to valuable private collections that will be exhibited for the first time at this exhibition. Each chapter is interspersed with columns to clearly introduce Seitei's entire career. In addition to flower and bird paintings, Seitei also left behind excellent works in beauty paintings, genre paintings, landscape paintings, and more. This book also contains many of those works. You can enjoy Seitei's world of painting to the fullest. [Recommended information from the editor] 1. You can understand Watanabe Seitei's painting career well in this one book!
