| Concept | 半歩片足を前に出し、大きなお尻と乳房、そして両手を後にお腹を突き出した女性像は、まさしく木内が求めようとしていた誇らしげな女性像である。リアルな表現の中にも誇張された作風は、作者が生涯求めてやまなかった縄文土偶のようなはつらつさ、あるいはアルカイックな女性像たちに通じるものだったろう。小品やひねりものが多い木内作品の中では、最も大きい（高さ186cm）部類の作品であり、自信作でもあった。 The statue of a woman with ample hip and breasts, half-stepping forward, proudly stands with her hands thrusted behind her to stick out her belly. She is the epitome of a proud woman Kinouchi pursued in his career. The artistic exaggeration in the realism may share the same root with the jovial clay figurines from the Jomon period and archaic female figures, which the artist sought for throughout his life. The statue is one of the largest sculptures by Kinouchi, who mainly worked on small and earthen pieces. The 186cm-tall figure was also one of his favorite works. |
