"During the first half of the 20th century, several European avant-garde movements were introduced in Japan, where they grew within a short period of time, sometimes intermingling, which was quite inconceivable from an Occidental perspective. This characteristic was obvious in the case of Japanese surrealism, a synthetic cultural object. During the 1930s, the increasing pressure on artists and intellectuals gave it an even more singular dimension. Like many Japanese painters, Kitawaki Noboru (1901-1951) was interested in surrealism, but he quickly moved away from the Western model to begin a singular artistic exploration through his \\\"Schematic Paintings\\\", with which he aimed to construct a model of reality that appeared less and less ordered in a time of trouble and which consequently could no longer be understood. In this way he aimed to give back to man the place that should be his. Kitawaki\u2019s attempts to draw inspiration from the most diverse fields, without any real temporal, geographical or disciplinary limitations, evoke the work of Renaissance polymath artists. His production, while inseparable from the context, cannot be perceived only in relation to historical events. The in-depth analysis of several of his writings and works, as well as the theoretical and practical schemas he developed (notably the question of the pictorial void) provide information on the painter's aim, which\u2014in contrast to standards\u2014was as much concerned with the background as it was with the motifs of his canvases, and which was more concerned with the manner in which elements were combined than with the elements themselves." . . . . . . . "Avant-Gardes" . "Art" . "Durant la premi\u00E8re moiti\u00E9 du XX\u1D49 si\u00E8cle, divers mouvements d\u2019avant-garde occidentaux sont introduits au Japon et s\u2019y d\u00E9veloppent dans un court intervalle de temps, menant \u00E0 des unions difficilement concevables dans une perspective europ\u00E9enne. Cette caract\u00E9ristique est flagrante dans le cas du surr\u00E9alisme japonais, objet culturel synth\u00E9tique. Durant les ann\u00E9es 1930, les pressions croissantes sur les artistes et intellectuels ach\u00E8vent de lui donner une coloration singuli\u00E8re. Comme de nombreux peintres japonais, Kitawaki Noboru (1901-1951) s\u2019int\u00E9resse au surr\u00E9alisme, mais il va rapidement s\u2019\u00E9loigner du mod\u00E8le occidental pour entamer une exploration artistique singuli\u00E8re au travers de ses \u00AB\u00A0peintures sch\u00E9matiques\u00A0\u00BB, qui visent \u00E0 construire le mod\u00E8le d\u2019une r\u00E9alit\u00E9 qui semble \u00E9chapper \u00E0 tout cadre et, partant, \u00E0 toute tentative de compr\u00E9hension, et ainsi rendre \u00E0 l\u2019homme la place qui doit y \u00EAtre la sienne. Les tentatives de Kitawaki qui se nourrissent des domaines les plus divers, sans v\u00E9ritable limitation temporelle, g\u00E9ographique, ni disciplinaire, \u00E9voquent le travail des peintres-savants de la Renaissance. Indissociable du contexte, sa production ne saurait \u00EAtre per\u00E7ue de mani\u00E8re uniquement conjoncturelle. L\u2019analyse de plusieurs de ses \u00E9crits et de ses \u0153uvres, ainsi que des sch\u00E9mas aussi bien th\u00E9oriques que pratiques qu\u2019il d\u00E9veloppe (notamment la question du vide pictural) renseignent sur le but poursuivi par le peintre qui, \u00E0 rebours des standards, s\u2019int\u00E9resse tout autant au fond qu\u2019aux motifs de ses toiles, et plus encore qu\u2019aux \u00E9l\u00E9ments eux-m\u00EAmes \u00E0 la mani\u00E8re de les combiner." . . . .
