@article{oai:kansai-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00023175, author = {蜷川, 順子 and Ninagawa, Junko}, journal = {関西大学東西学術研究所紀要}, month = {Jul}, note = {German Architect Bruno Taut arrived at Tsuruga Port on May 3rd, 1933, escaping his Nazi-controlled native country. His partner Erika and he were taken to Katsura Imperial Villa the very next day. This rather rushed schedule transpired because Isaburo Ueno, the person who first welcomed them in Japan, wanted to give Taut a birthday present by showing him one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in the nation. As Ueno expected, Taut was fascinated by the villa and soon afterward published an excellent essay on it. Taut is still known as the first foreign architect to have recognized the beauty of the villa as manifested by its simple minimalist construction. This beauty resonated with the constructivist architecture movement emanating from Russian futurism, which was centered on contemporary social demands and the industrial tasks required to be accomplished by the new regime. However, Taut’s reputation in Europe was not yet associated with such constructivist ideas. Rather, it was vested in the expressionistic colors he had applied to houses for workers and to traditional civic facilities. His contemporary Japanese modernists appear to have elaborately concealed his affinity for the use of color. However, he did not abandon this preference and could thus not attain much architectural work in Japan. His sole exceptional architectural creation in Japan was the annex of the Hyuga Villa in Atami. This structure is distinguished by its blending of constructivist ideas and expressionist colors and anticipates the forthcoming color-field arts (a branch of Abstract Expressionism that flourished in the postwar American period). This paper will trace the transition of Taut’s color-related ideas and practices and will explore the varied influences on his use of color: Expressionism, Divisionism, color theories, and the Garden City Movement. It will also scrutinize the last phase of his career, which transpired in Japan.}, pages = {A113--A145}, title = {ブルーノ・タウトと色彩}, volume = {55}, year = {2022} }
