Commemorating the 130th anniversary of Tamitsugu Kitagawa's birth, this exhibition catalogue explores the Japanese artist's transformative years in revolutionary Mexico and their lasting influence on his artistic development. Bilingual introductions and full-colour images examine his multifaceted legacy as painter, muralist, children's book illustrator, and art educator. Through his Mexican connections and social consciousness, Kitagawa forged a distinctive artistic vision that challenged contemporary Japanese society. This comprehensive study, accompanying exhibitions at Nagoya City Art Museum, Setagaya Art Museum, and Koriyama Municipal Museum of Art, captures the era and illuminates his significant contribution to Japanese modernism.
