Catalogue of exhibition of works by Kumagai Morikazu from the Kimura Teizo Collection at Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art in 2004. The collection includes more than 200 pieces of works by Kumagai Morikazu. Kumagai, who was born in Gifu in 1880, started out to paint in a Fauvist-like style at the beginning of his artistic career. The artist then isolated himself from the art circle after WWII to establish a unique style based on clear outlines and even colour fields. In 1938, Kimura Teizo, then 25 years old, met the 58-year-old Kumagai who was yet unknown to the public. Kimura was deeply impressed by the artist, and their friendship continued for about 40 years until Kumagai passed away in 1977 at the age of 97. A chronology of Kumagai Morikazu is included in the catalogue.
