Kokan and Tazen were Western painters who created oil paintings and copperplate prints during the Edo period. Kokan was a scholar who loved elegance, while Tazen was obsessed with Western technology and was keen on manufacturing. Although the two artists' works have different characteristics, what they have in common is the "coolness" of their forms, which comes from a sincere sense of wonder about perspective. While exploring the charm of Western paintings, this exhibition also focuses on the differences in the characteristics of the two artists. This exhibition will present representative oil paintings such as "Round Window Tang Beauty Picture" and "Leather Worker Picture" by Sima Jianghan, and "Two Kingdoms Picture" and "Ink Bank Viewing Cherry Blossom Picture" by Yaoudo Tianshan, as well as their copperplate prints and ink paintings. The exhibition not only focuses on the creative characteristics of the two painters, but also explores their interpretation of oil painting techniques in different contexts, revealing the development process of oil painting in the Edo period.
