抄録

New fine-arts education in Meiji period nurtured the soil to produce new Japanese painting styles. In Kyoto, following the trends of Tokyo Art School and the vogue of both domestic and foreign artistic trends, the Japanese style painting was breaking away from the old system. This paper will examine the modernization of art schools in Kyoto during the period from Meiji to Taisho, with the trends in Tokyo in perspective. In particular, while paying attention to the internal education of painters at the schools, it will examine the role fulfilled by the psychologist and leader of the ideology in the painting circles of Kyoto, Matsumoto Matataro, and clarify the orientation of the fine-arts education targeted in those days.
It can be said that the modernization of Japanese paintings in Kyoto progressed in parallel to the philosophical teachings of Matsumoto Matataro, which required the painter to draw even the internal part of the painting subjecthrough deep observation and awareness of his association with the society, in addition to the guidance on practical skills by Takeuchi Seiho, who adopted the new painting concept of depicting the world through the perception of the individual.
