川﨑春彦は、1929年(昭和4年)、東京都杉並区生まれ。祖父は日本画家・川﨑千虎、父は川﨑小虎(しょうこ)。二人の伝統的な日本画とは、川﨑春彦の画風は著しく異なる。
さらに祖父・父と、作者との間に、東山魁(かい)夷(い)がいた。川﨑小虎の長女と結婚した東山魁夷から、大きな影響を受けたという。
川﨑春彦は、2018年(平成30年)に89歳の生涯を閉じるまで、富士山を数多く手掛けた。富士の威容を誇る堂々たる姿を中央に大きく置き、その高さを仰ぎ見る効果であろうか、頂の冠雪は小さく描かれている。そして、暁の赤い背景と対照的に空に青くストライプを描く雲。その視線には、自然に対する畏敬の念が感じられる。
Haruhiko Kawasaki was born in Suginami, Tokyo in 1929. His grandfather was the Japanese painter Chitora Kawasaki and his father was Shoko Kawasaki. Haruhiko Kawasaki’s style of painting was considerably different to the traditional Japanese paintings of those two men.
Furthermore, Kaii Higashiyama came between his grandfather and father and himself. It is said that the artist was greatly influenced by Kaii Higashiyama who married the eldest daughter of Shoko Kawasaki.
Haruhiko Kawasaki worked on many paintings of Mt. Fuji until he passed away at the age of 89 in 2018. He placed a large imposing figure boasting the majesty of Mt. Fuji in the center. He then depicted the snow-capped peak at the summit as small perhaps because of the effect of looking up at its size. The clouds are drawn in blue stripes on the sky in contrast to the red background of daybreak. You can feel awe for nature in this line of sight.
