"Poetry of the People": Masayasu Uchida's First Overseas Exhibition in His 60-Year Creative Career
Chinese original:
人の詩 內田正泰60年創作生涯首場海外展
Uchida Masayasu (1922–2019) was a Japanese graphic designer and an artist who made pictures from torn paper, and this is the first time his work has left Japan. The show starts from everyday scenes, the wind, light through trees, a pool, smoke from a hearth, winter snow and spring green, and says that an ordinary day lived can also be a poem about people. Ponding has borrowed dozens of originals never shown before and also offers fine-art prints at the same size as the originals. Curated by Volcano Wildflower in collaboration with the Uchida Masayasu Hari-e Museum, it is on the third floor of Ponding and closed on Mondays.

Collage拼貼A technique of arranging pieces of paper, photographs, fabric and other scraps and sticking them onto a surface, and also the name for the work made that way.Read moreClose
01About
Collage is both a technique and the work made with it: pieces of paper, photographs, fabric and other scraps are arranged and stuck onto a supporting surface. The word comes from the French papiers collés (“pasted papers”) and was first used for an artists' technique in the early twentieth century. A collage can also include painting and drawing, or three-dimensional elements. Papier collé is one form of collage, closer to drawing than to painting: Georges Braque and Picasso both made papiers collés in late 1912 and early 1913, and Picasso pasted in pages of the newspaper Le Journal, wanting to bring the reality of everyday life into the picture.
02In the gallery
Look closely at the edge of each piece: where is it a ragged torn edge, where a cut straight line, and how does one color sit against the next?

Can you tell which edges were torn and which were cut straight?
