- 研究成果概要
- The aim was to explore the connections between a Peruvian painter, Tilsa Tsuchiya’s paintings and Peruvian poet, Jose Watanabe’s works. Prior to this project, I came across a book by Maribel De Paz, in which the friendship between Tsuchiya and Watanabe was briefly but vividly described. In this project, I attempted to examine how Tsuchiya and Watanabe’s close friendship and artistic exchanges influenced the poet’s works and how such influence can be observed in his poetry. Especially, I intended to, first, find out how Tsuchiya’s paintings, which evoke indigenous and mythic ambience, spark a sense of motion and mobility, and then attempted to demonstrate how such a sense of motion and mobility are reflected on Watanabe’s poems. In the summer of 2016, I conducted research at Joseph Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago, where I found two important materials. I learned that Tsuchiya’s exhibitions were held in Osaka (1980) and Milwaukee (1995). I also discovered a book Tilsa (2000), which I could not find anywhere else. I have chosen Watanabe’s poems to be analyzed, but did not have the opportunity to study Tilsa’s paintings or visit the archives of the museums in Osaka and Milwaukee this year.
