瀧口修造 TAKIGUCHI Shūzō
瀧口 修造(たきぐち しゅうぞう、1903年(明治36年)12月7日 – 1979年(昭和54年)7月1日)は、近代日本を代表する美術評論家、詩人、画家。戦前・戦後の日本における正統シュルレアリスムの理論的支柱であり、近代詩の詩人とは一線を画す存在。
Shūzō Takiguchi (瀧口 修造, Takiguchi Shūzō; December 7, 1903 – July 1, 1979) was a Japanese poet, art critic, and artist. He was a central figure in prewar and postwar Japanese Surrealism, helping introduce the movement through his 1930 translation of André Breton’s Surrealism and Painting and through direct correspondence with Breton. He also published a 1940 monograph on Joan Miró that museum sources describe as the world’s earliest monograph on the artist. He was also a key figure in the history of wartime repression directed at Japanese Surrealism: in 1941, he was arrested on suspicion of violating the Peace Preservation Law, and museum accounts note that he remained under police surveillance until the end of the war.
