先週の日曜日に川合玉堂美術館へ行って参りました。
美術館の駐車場がいっぱいだった為、澤の井という酒蔵の駐車場に車を止めさせて頂き、川沿いを散歩しながら目的地へ。
しかし、知りませんでした、玉堂美術館の最寄り駅は、青梅線/御岳駅。
私が止めた駐車場の目の前の駅は青梅線/沢井駅。
田舎の一駅は長い事!
しかも歩いたのは、山道です。
途中でめげそうになりましたが、川がきれいで紅葉もきれいだったので、
妄想全開フル活動で片道25分が楽しいものになりました。
玉堂美術館はとてもこぢんまりとしていて、作品数は多くないものの、
とても落ち着き、時間が止まっているかのようでした。
彼の作品、一つ一つからは、その画面には描かれていない奥行きや音、動物の声、人々の会話が聞こえてくるかの様。
またもや妄想の世界へと逃避行。
彼が過ごしたアトリエへと抜ける中庭から見える紅葉は、まさにあっぱれ!です。
思わず「きれぇ〜」と言葉が漏れました。
人間、本当に感動すると誰もいなくても、言葉が出てくるものなのですね。
一件は百聞にしかず。ですよ!
しかし、行きはヨイヨイ、帰りはコワイ。
皆様車で行かれる時は、玉堂美術館の駐車場へお止め下さいまし。
Last sunday, I went to Gyokudo Art Museum (Kawai Gyokudo).
Because the Museum parking lot was full, I parked my car at "Sawanoi" SAKE brewery parking lot, which was known for SAKE made in Tokyo, and walked along with river to the museum.
YES, the museum is located in Tokyo, but the place is very in countryside.
There are lots of mountains and beautiful valley.
Well, where I parked my car was a station away from the nearest station of the museum. You never know how far from a station to another one in a country (everyone dose not believe that the place is still in Tokyo!)
It took me 25 minutes to get there, but nature was absolutely beautiful, so I tripped to my imagination world with the gorgeous nature.
The museum itself is very neat and cute. They cannot exhibit many his art works at once, but the selection was very favorable.
As his art works, there I can feel the space where is not be drawn in his piece. As if I can see the depth of the nature or hear birds singing, animal taking, and conversation of people.
I tripped to my imagination world again. Happy
Then the view, of tinted autumnal leaves from the garden to his studio, was admirable!!
"Wow! It's sooooooooooooo beautiful!!" I shouted out.
If you were very impressed and touched, you would pass your lips without anyone.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Although, the way to the museum was good walking, but the way back was boarding. :D.
If you have a chance to go there, please park your car at the museum parking lot.
