Lamayuru — ernest stephen lumsden
Ernest Stephen Lumsden (1883-1948) was a distinguished painter, noted etcher and authority on etching. He studied at Reading Art School under Frank Morley Fletcher and briefly at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1903. In 1908 he accepted an appointment at the Edinburgh College of Art, where he taught for a few years and remained based there for the rest of his life. He travelled several times to India between 1912 and 1927 and is noted for his prints of Benares on the River Ganges. Between 1905 and 1946 Lumsden produced some 350 etchings and always printed his own plates; more than a third of them (approximately 125) are of Indian imagery. Lumsden was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers in 1909 and raised to the full membership in 1915. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1923 and a full member in 1933; and he was President of the Society of Artist Printers from 1929 to 1947. In 1925 Lumsden published what is still regarded as the seminal treatise, The Art of Etching. Here he describes the various techniques of intaglio printing using etching, drypoint, mezzotint and aquatint; he describes the history and development of etching through Rembrandt, Goya and the etching revival; and he reproduced personal, illustrated notes from several eminent etchers of the period on their techniques, including Muirhead Bone, D.Y. Cameron and James McBey. Lamayuru, fondly referred to as the Moon Land, is a major stopover on the Leh-Srinaga highway in Kashmir. Hidden in the folds of the mountains of this mystical land is the 10th century Lamayuru Monastery. One of the oldest gompas in Ladakh and Spiti, this Buddhist monastery is perched atop a cliff at an altitude of well over 3000 metres. According to legend, this region was once under a lake that was made to dry up by a holy man. The main sanctum of the monastery has a cave where Mahasiddha Naropa meditated for years. The entire region is considered sacred owing to the monastery
アーティストと美術館
Ernest Stephen Lumsden, born December 22nd, 1883, in Edmonton, London, embarked on an artistic journey shaped by both familial influences and a burgeoning fascination with the natural world. His father, William Lumsden, was a solicitor, instilling in him a disciplined intellect alongside a deep appreciation for precision and detail—qualities that would prove invaluable to his later endeavors as a printmaker. Despite initial aspirations for naval service, hampered by debilitating health issues stemming from tuberculosis contracted during his formative years, Lumsden redirected his energies toward artistic pursuits, enrolling at Reading Art School in 1889 under the tutelage of Frank Morley Fletcher. This early exposure to Impressionistic techniques fostered an understanding of capturing fleeting moments and conveying emotion through color and light—principles that would permeate his oeuvre throughout his career. A brief stint at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1903 provided him with further refinement, immersing him in the artistic traditions of France and broadening his stylistic horizons.
In 1908 Lumsden accepted a professorship at Edinburgh College of Art, establishing himself as an educator and fostering the development of young artists—a role he would continue to fulfill for several years. During this period, he honed his etching skills, experimenting with various techniques and mastering the intricacies of intaglio printing. His artistic sensibilities were profoundly influenced by the Scottish landscape, particularly the rugged beauty of Northumberland and Cumbria, which served as recurring subjects in his early prints. These landscapes weren’t merely depicted; they were imbued with a palpable sense of atmosphere—a testament to Lumsden's ability to translate visual impressions into tactile representations on paper. His meticulous attention to detail and masterful command of tonal gradations distinguished him from many of his contemporaries, cementing his reputation as a skilled craftsman and visionary artist.
Between 1912 and 1927 Lumsden undertook extensive expeditions to India—a transformative experience that irrevocably shaped his artistic vision and intellectual curiosity. Driven by an unwavering desire to document the cultural richness of the subcontinent, he traveled extensively throughout Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, capturing scenes of bustling bazaars, serene temples and majestic palaces. These journeys yielded a prolific output of prints depicting Benares—the holy city on the Ganges River—where Lumsden meticulously rendered the intricate patterns of textiles, the vibrant colors of Hindu iconography and the solemn rituals performed by pilgrims. His prints stand as enduring records of Indian life and spirituality—a legacy that continues to inspire artists today.
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive guide to etching practice, Lumsden embarked on a monumental undertaking in 1925—the publication of The Art of Etching. This seminal work meticulously dissected the various techniques of intaglio printing—etching, drypoint, mezzotint and aquatint—tracing their historical evolution from Rembrandt’s groundbreaking innovations to the revival movements championed by Goya and subsequent generations. Lumsden's detailed observations and insightful analyses captivated fellow printmakers and established him as an undisputed authority on the subject. He reproduced personal notes from prominent etchers of his time, including Marius Bauer, Frank Benson, Muirhead Bone, George Clausen, David Young Cameron, Frank Short, Augustus John, Frank Brangwyn, James McBey, Edmund Blampied, Percy Smith, Christopher Nevinson, Laura Knight and John Everett—a deliberate effort to disseminate knowledge and inspire artistic excellence.
Lumsden’s contributions to the art world were formally acknowledged by numerous prestigious organizations—he was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers in 1909 and ascended to Full Membership in 1915;. He became an Associate Member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1923 and a Fellow in 1933; and he served as President of the Society of Artist Printmakers from 1929 until his death in 1948. Despite facing considerable physical challenges—primarily arthritis—Lumsden persevered in his artistic endeavors, producing a remarkable body of work that reflected his unwavering commitment to craftmanship and creative exploration. His final prints—particularly those depicting landscapes of Scotland—remain poignant expressions of solitude and contemplation—a testament to the enduring power of art to convey profound emotional truths.
展示中： ウェリントン, ニュージーランド
ニュージーランド博物館、テ・パパ・トンガレワは、この国の文化的遺産と芸術的進化を物語る比類なき証であり、アオテアロア（ニュージーランド）の過去、現在、そして未来を照らし出す輝かしい灯台のような存在です。ウェリントンの活気あふれるウォーターフロントに堂々と位置するこの博物館の起源は、1934年に行われたドミニオン博物館と国立美術館の野心的な統合という、統一への強い願いに根ざしています。芸術と科学という二つの視点を通じて、強固な国家アイデンティティを築こうとしたこの試みは、今や形を変え、世界中の人々を魅了しています。今日、テ・パパは単なる遺物の保管場所ではありません。年間100万人を超える来館者を迎えるダイナミックな文化の目的地であり、歴史がガラス越しに観察される対象ではなく、没入感のある物語を通じて能動的に体験される空間となっているのです。
博物館の建築そのものが、自然界との深い対話として機能しています。ジャスマックス・アーキテクツによって設計されたその構造体は、ウェリントン港の埋立地から有機的に立ち上がり、ニュージーランドの風景随所に見られる劇的な地質学的造形を映し出しています。この意図的なデザインは、マオリの口承伝統と、大地である
Papatūānuku（パパトゥアヌク）
に捧げられた深い畏敬の念を反映したものです。広大なギャラリーを巡る空間の旅には、マオリの文化的モチーフが繊細に組み込まれており、光と影の演出によって、伝統的な集会所である
wharenui（ファレヌイ）
の神聖な空気を呼び起こします。芸術愛好家にとってもデザイナーにとっても、この建築は内部の聖域と外部の自然界との境界が溶け合い始めるような、没入感に満ちた環境を提供しています。
テ・パパのコレクションの核心にあるのは、
Taonga Māori（タオンガ・マオリ）
です。これはニュージーランドの先住民族の精神的信仰と芸術的熟練を象徴する、大切に守られてきた至宝の数々です。これらの作品は単なる美しい工芸品ではなく、
mana（マナ）
、すなわち霊的な力を宿した生きた遺産です。木彫りの彫刻に見られる複雑でリズム感あふれる文様から、繊細かつ規律ある技法で編まれた亜麻のバスケットに至るまで、それぞれの作品はマオリの宇宙観や、
whakapapa（ファカパパ）
と呼ばれる系譜の概念を覗き見るための、比類なき窓となります。これらの至宝の前に立つとき、私たちは祖先の土地との深い結びつきと、今なお鮮やかに息づく文化の連続性を目の当たりにすることでしょう。
伝統に深く根ざしながらも、テ・パパは現代的な革新のための大胆な舞台としての役割も果たしています。当館はアヴァンギャルドな精神を支持し、絵画、彫刻、インスタレーション、デジタルメディアに至るまで、ダイナミックな幅を持つ作品群を収蔵しています。この「新しさ」への献身が最も痛切に表現されているのは、「ガリポリ：我々の戦争の規模」といった展示かもしれません。そこでは等身大のフィギュアや没入型の環境を用いることで、紛争という凄惨な現実を人間味のある物語へと昇華させています。歴史的な重厚さと現代のテクノロジーによる体験を融合させることで、テ・パパは語られる物語が個人の心に深く響くことを確かなものにしています。コレクターや芸術愛好家にとって、この博物館は伝統の古き重みと現代表現の無限の可能性が交差する稀有な場所であり、進化し続けるニュージーランドのアイデンティティを理解しようとする者にとって、欠かすことのできない巡礼の地となっているのです。
