　新潟の古町6の一角に今も植木須美子の木版画群が展示されている。それらを含む新潟シリーズを紹介する。2年前100歳で亡くなった植木宅に残るほぼ全点である。多くは作者50～60代の作。師の高橋信一から多色刷の技も学んでいたけれど、この連作は基本一色。大正生まれの植木の記憶のなかの新潟も描かれた。過去といまを同じ地平に表現する色が白と黒だったのかもしれない。激動の｢昭和｣が、雲や空のように変わりつつ変わらぬものとして見つめられている。（企画者：大倉宏）

Sumiko Ueki’s woodblock prints are still on display in a corner of Furumachi 6 in Niigata city. The exhibition introduces the Niigata series, including almost all of the prints that remain at the home of Sumiko Ueki, who passed away two years ago at the age of 100. Most of them were made by the artist in her 50s or 60s. Although she had learned the technique of multicolor printing from her teacher Shinichi Takahashi, this series is basically one-color. Ueki, who was born in the Taisho era (1912-1926), also depicted Niigata of her memory. Perhaps black and white was the color that expressed the past and the present on the same horizon. The turbulent “Showa period” is seen as something that has changed, yet remains unchanged, like the clouds and the sky. (Exhibition Planner: Hiroshi Okura)
