Abstract

This article aims to examine the newspaper reports of the free drawing exhibitions held in the Hokuriku district during the Taisho era, and to explore the expansion of free drawing education in the region. The article focuses mainly on the “World Student Free Drawing Exhibition” held in 1920. Using reports on the exhibition circulated to four cities in the Hokuriku area, I analyzed the overview of the exhibition, the opinions of experts, as well as comments from students and the general public, and the artworks. Although I have already reported on this exhibition, as in the case of Takaoka, this study extends my previous article to analyze other cities. It includes Fukui, Kanazawa, and Toyama, the different views of professionals from these cities, and comments on students’ artwork. This study confirms that newspaper reports supported free drawing education as a new style of art education, thereby contributing to the spread of a new wave of education in the Hokuriku district.
