| 伊東哲自画像 |
伊東哲（さとし）は、大きな農家の次男として1891年（明治24）花園村に生まれました。金沢一中（現石川県立泉丘高校）から東京美術学校（現東京芸大）に進みました。1916（大正5）年の第十回文展に入選後、帝展を含め5回入選し、石川洋画の先駆者として将来を嘱望されていました。しかし1927（昭和2）年第8回帝展入選作「沈思の歌星」で柳原白蓮をモデルに描いたことが売名行為と中傷誹謗されたため中央画壇を離れ、二度と戻ることはありませんでした。
当時台湾で、哲の母の従弟で幼馴染の八田與一が大規模な水利工事を行っていました。哲は1928年から30年にかけて與一に招かれて工事の記録画や與一の肖像画を描きました。その後1939年から終戦まで北京の国立芸術専科学校教授として絵を教えました。
戦後は千葉県東金中学校で美術教師として勤務、晩年は東京沼袋の自宅で新聞の折り込み広告の裏などに、絵を描き続け、1979年88歳で没しました。花園村（現在は金沢市花園八幡町）の生家には習作や家族を描いた油彩、戦後の水彩画など50点ほどを展示してあります。
