초록

Fougita Tsuguharu moved to Paris in 1913 after he has graduated from Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts in 1910. Fougita joined cole de Paris and after the World WarⅡ then he became well recognized. His milky colored nude paintings done in the traditional Japanese painting style was shockingly unfamiliar with Parisians and they were exuberated by his eccentric actions.
Fougita painted the most war campaign documentary paintings among the Japanese artists after he came back to Japan. Furthermore following the defeat, since Fougita was cooperating with the Japanese military as the president of Japanese Military Art Association, he was caught up in the middle of war responsibility controversy.
After the US military occupation in Japan, GHQ classified War Campaign Documentary Paintings as propaganda, not as art paintings and shipped 153 pieces to the United States of America. Initially, GHQ had appointed Fougita to be in charge of collecting these paintings but after these war propaganda campaign documentary paintings became the main controversy in the Japanese art world, Fougita passed on the responsibility to Yamada Shinichi and left to go to the US and then France.
Fougita, who was beloved by the Japanese Military for his war campaign documentary paintings during the WWⅡ, purchased diamonds from the money he made by selling paintings to US military officers and their wives. Instead of accepting his war responsibility, he avoids all blame and claims his legitimacy. In 1949, with the aid from the US military, he was left for New York. After one year in New York, he moved to Paris. Fougita became naturalized as a French citizen and ended his life in a hospital in Switzerland in 1968.
From the facts above, Fougita’s war campaign documentary paintings were the result of his ambition of success, not just an outcome of Japanese military’s order. The reason he wanted to escape from Japan after the WWⅡ was to recreate his success which he already had in Paris earlier his life. In conclusion, the paintings show us what Fougita’s consciousness was like the horrendous war scenes of his paintings show that he considered war as a mere theatrical experience and bloody slaughter as a spectacle.
