「斎藤真一の世界展」が不忍画廊で9月10日(木)より開催されます。
斎藤真一は1922年に岡山県倉敷市に生まれ、1959〜60年に渡欧。ミニバイクでヨーロッパ各地を巡ったのち、帰国時に敬愛する藤田嗣治から東北を訪れるよう勧められました。青森で偶然知った、盲目の女性旅芸人「瞽女(ごぜ)」との出会いは、その後の制作を大きく方向づけることになります。
本展では、美術館での回顧展にも出品された初期代表作《賭博》、珍しい佳品《西頚城の少女》、「昭和ロマン」シリーズの秀作《紅い灯の部屋》、最晩年の大作など、不忍画廊で初公開となる作品を多数展示。
「瞽女」「さすらい」「昭和ロマン」と、初期から晩年まで各時代の作品が揃うミニ回顧展として、斎藤真一の画業をたどることができます。貴重な資料や作品集、絶版ポスターなども紹介されます🎨

“The World of Shinichi Saito” will be on view at SHINOBAZU GALLERY from Sep 10 (Thu).
Born in Kurashiki, Okayama, in 1922, Shinichi Saito traveled to Europe from 1959 to 1960, journeying across the continent on a small motorbike. Before returning to Japan, he visited the studio of Tsuguharu Foujita, whom he deeply admired, and was encouraged to travel to Akita and the Tohoku region.
After returning to Japan, Saito visited Aomori, where he first learned about the goze—blind female itinerant musicians. His encounter with goze performer Kikui Sugimoto left a profound impression on him, and the subject became a lifelong theme in his work.
This exhibition presents numerous works being shown at the gallery for the first time, including the early masterpiece “Gambling,” which has appeared in museum retrospectives, the rare “Girl of Nishi-Kubiki,” the notable “Room with a Red Light” from his Showa Romance series, and a large-scale work from the final years of his life.
Bringing together works from his Goze, Wandering, and Showa Romance periods, the exhibition serves as a compact retrospective spanning Saito’s career from his early years to his later period. Rare archival materials, publications, and out-of-print posters are also on view 🎨
