niigata eya exhibition 673
みよしは、洲之内徹の現代画廊で発表していた素晴らしい画家で、洲之内の死後、私は彼女と知り合い、1991年にウィーンの彼女の住まいに10日間泊めていただき、たくさんの話を聞いた。それらの言葉の数々は、その後の私の人生の血肉となって、生きている。
鉛筆画と水彩画を彼女は残して逝ったが、彼女の生前、現代画廊ほかの場を通じ、彼女のもとを一旦離れた絵の一部を、今回新潟で展示できることになった。みよしの絵の魅力は、美しさと厳しさにある。それは洲之内徹のエッセイがそうであるように、困難な時代の、生きにくい人生を、根本で妥協せずに歩き抜いたこととつながっている。苦しくてならないとき、真に美しいものが、生きる糧になることを彼女と彼女の絵から私は教えられたのだった。（企画者：大倉宏）
MIYOSHI was a wonderful painter who had exhibited at Toru Sunouchi’s Gendai Gallery. After Sunouchi’s death, I became acquainted with her and stayed at her residence in Vienna for 10 days in 1991, where I heard her many stories. Many ofthose words have lived on in the flesh and blood of my life since then.
She passed away leaving behind pencil and watercolor paintings, and I am pleased to be able to exhibit some of the paintings she left behind in Niigata through the Gendai
Gallery and other venues during her lifetime. The charm of Miyoshi’s paintings lies in their beauty and severity. As Toru Sunouchi’s essay reveals, this is connected to the fact that Miyoshi walked through difficult times and a difficult life without compromising her fundamentals. She and her paintings taught me that in times of pain, what is truly beautiful becomes the sustenance of life. (Exhibition Planner: Hiroshi Okura)

MIYOSHI
Born in Tokyo in 1931, Miyoshi lived in Vienna, Austria from around 1969, and initially produced collages under the name MIYOSHI. In 1973, she held first solo exhibition at Gallery Tao in Vienna. In 1974, began pencil drawings after traveling along the east coast of the Adriatic Sea and making drawings of olive trees. In 1978 she temporarily returned to Japan to show her pencil drawings to Toru Sunouchi, since she had read Geijutsu Shincho in Vienna and was a great admirer of his work. Her pencil drawings were highly praised by Sunouchi, who encouraged her to hold a solo exhibition of her pencil drawings at the Wolfrum Gallery in Vienna in 1979. It was a great success. After that, she began working in watercolor and traveled to the Aegean Sea, where she painted many series of sea paintings. She had solo exhibitions at Sunouchi’s Gendai Gallery in 1986 and 1987, and after Sunouchi’s death in 1987, she exhibited in Japan at Form Gallery (Tokyo) etc. She died in Vienna in 2001.
