From 2022 to 2023, Okamoto Taro (1911? 96), an artist who traveled around the country with exhibitions and proved his unchanging popularity 25 years after his death. The artist's image was shaped based on what was told by the artist himself and his long-time secretary, Okamoto Toshiko. Above all, the energetic words that broke through the stagnation have attracted many people as well as his art. Under such circumstances, this book takes a different approach from the past, focusing especially on the relationship between the iconography of his work and the discourse by the author and others, and empirically examines his creative activities. This book aims to present a new image of Okamoto Taro that is different from the many books related to Okamoto Taro. This book summarizes the results of the author's many years of research, who worked as a curator at Taro Okamoto Museum of Art.
