Tatsuo Takayama ”The Hill at Dawn”

Beyond the grove, fields unfold in neat rows, their ridges lending rhythm to the composition. The vivid greens suggest the vitality of new life, while the distant sky—tinged with red against blue—captures the atmosphere of morning just before the break of day.

In the foreground, the trees are rendered with layers of blue-green mineral pigments, creating shadows imbued with a quiet darkness. Though the sun has yet to rise, Takayama employs the contrast between the luminous fields and the shaded grove to express the interplay of light and shadow, of heaven and earth. The scene evokes a primal sense of anticipation for the coming of light.

Believed to have been painted around 1956, this work was exhibited at the Tatsuo Takayama Memorial Exhibition held at the Nerima Art Museum in 2008.
