Matsumoto City Museum of Art is the itinerary that I am looking forward to in this industry. I missed Yayoi Kusama’s "Dream of My Dream: Yayoi Kusama Asia Tour Exhibition" in June 2015.6. I always felt a pity until I followed Nagano this time. The county staff interviewed and filmed so far, and finally got a glimpse of the teacher's paintings and exhibits.In addition, we also ate at the Cafe Bistro Cen time in the Matsumoto Art Museum, and we will share it with you in this article.
How to get to Matsumoto City Museum of Art?
The museum is only about 1 km away from JR Matsumoto Station. After exiting the station, you can walk straight for about 10-12 minutes. If you are bringing children or the elderly to visit the exhibition, you can use public transportation. Take the Town Sneaker (city shuttle bus) east route outside the station and get off at Matsumoto City Art Museum Station.
The museum itself also provides parking lots, so readers who drive and travel can park directly next to the museum without worrying about parking.

With the opening of the museum in July 2002, Bistro Cen time has provided visitors to the exhibition with a comfortable dining environment, delicious authentic cuisine, lunch and dinner. One of the French salty pie is only available for Chinese food, so we came to visit Select this time period specifically.
There are 22 seats in the shop and reservation service is provided. I look around and use a large area of glass to bring in light. We ordered savoury pie, row meal, and served with French bread and soup. We enjoyed our meal and watched the scenery outside the shop. Unconsciously, I also relaxed, which is different from the past travel methods of making scenery in Japan.
▲ There are also a variety of wines in the store. Those who want to drink can inquire when looking at the menu.
▲ The French savoury pie in the store is suitable for those with smaller appetites to order. It is delicious!
▲ Go to the museum to see the works of Yayoi Kusama. (Autumn afternoon sun is shining, even the mood is good~)
A series of paintings and exhibits by Yayoi Kusama collected by the Matsumoto Art Museum
The museum's special exhibition at that time was a series of paintings by Hashimoto Masakuni. He was a Kano painter from 1835 to 1908 during the Meiji period. Kisakuzen walked away from the sky, and his lines and faces changed in different ways. He was regarded as the pioneer of modern Japanese painting.Of course, the museum staff explained that another treasure of the Matsumoto City Art Museum is the works of Yayoi Kusama. We hope that through our sharing and introduction, Taiwanese tourists will not miss the representative works of the teacher when they travel to Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Anya itself is not good at analyzing art works. I am afraid that there will be any irregularities. I hope you can take care of it. However, I will gather some works and life information about Yayoi Kusama as much as possible, so that everyone can watch the filming work. Understand more of the teacher's creative ideas and ideas.
▲ One-month exhibition of works by Kano school painter Hashimoto Masauni.
▲ Prepare to watch the exhibition with anticipation.
Yayoi Kusama, her origins and painting ideas continue to the present day.
Yayoi Kusama, a classic Japanese artist, was born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, so it is not difficult for everyone to understand why the Matsumoto City Art Museum has a series of collections by the teacher, which is the reason for the regular exhibition.She moved to New York City in 1957 to show off her avant-garde artistic creations, and even collaborated with other contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and Jasper Johns. ) Joint exhibition together. (The above text is taken fromWikipedia)
I searched a lot of information. It was mentioned that she suffered from neurological audiovisual impairment since childhood. She often had auditory and visual hallucinations, and used dots and repeated images to create artistic creations, which originated from mental illness, and such mental illness and art Creation entangles a lifetime.
She said, "The world I saw seemed to be separated by a dot-shaped net, so I started trying to draw these dots."
▲ The pencil drawing represents that she suffered from neurological visual and hearing impairment since childhood.
Perhaps the aforementioned reasons, we can understand a little bit, but do not know why she always feels that her original family background should also be related.The following information appeared...
The young Yayoi Kusama was forced by her mother to follow her father who was behind her. She was less than 10 years old and saw everything but was driven away by her father.She was afraid that she would be beaten and scolded by her mother when she returned home. The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. So she planned to commit suicide by jumping off the train tracks. Hundreds of works, but the more she paints, the more angry her mother is.
In the end, Kusama was forced to suffer from neurological visual and hearing impairment, and there was a reticulated spot on the retina, so the mother's portrait painted when he was young was covered with spots, which also created the style of Kusama Yayoi's later style of painting.Kusama also said that art is her only way out. When she is unhappy, she can't eat or sleep. Only when she paints can she feel comfortable.
The famous saying "If it weren't for art, I would have committed suicide long ago."(The above information comes fromAnatomical dot queen)
After reading the above text, I don't know why there is a kind of sentimental.
▲ Pumpkins, dots, and mirrors have become the most representative elements of the teacher.
▲ "In the process of searching, I feel myself being obliterated, being constantly rotating by the infinite time and absolute sense of space, I have become small and insignificant."
▲ Why is it a pumpkin?
If you know the answer, please leave a message to me!
▲ Mr. Kusama used the dots in his eyes to form lines, surfaces, and even nets.
▲ Started to create this series of works in 2009, drawing pictures in vivid colors to convey the image.
Immediately afterwards, the staff of the museum took us to a space that needed to be opened and entered, and it would affect everyone's viewing. It is suggested that you need to come out and call for viewing 30 seconds after entering.This exhibition work has also been exhibited in Taiwan, which is the more familiar "Infinity Mirrored Room-The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away" (Infinity Mirrored Room-The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away).In the work, a mirror is laid from top to bottom and from left to right, through which Mr. Yayoi Kusama creates an infinitely extending sense of space, and allows viewers to explore the magical charm of space.
In the space, large and small balls of light brewed into the original black paint, and suddenly there are countless expanses like dots of light. Some people say that this is the teacher trying to give an endless feeling through the work, forgetting oneself, and then self-obliteration (self-obliteration) .
"I think the earth is a dot, the moon is a dot, the sun is a dot, and we are all tiny dots in the universe." After writing this article, I slowly chewed on what Mr. Kusama said. Segment words.
▲ Almost lost in this dreamlike mirror house.
▲ After viewing a series of works, you can go to the first floor to purchase surrounding souvenirs.
▲ After visiting the Matsumoto City Art Museum, our group will head to the next attraction and wave our hands to say goodbye to it.
