"Modern Art in Wanderings: In Between the Japanese and Western Style Paintings" Exhibition
The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Finished
SHARE
Contemporary Japanese paintings are sometimes categorized as being either Nihonga (Japanese paintings) or Western style paintings. This categorization started in the Meiji Era and has been adopted by the art world since. However, this perception actually carries many problems, and this exhibition will take a look at the parallel existence of these two categories from a historical viewpoint: in other words, rethinking the concepts 'contemporary', 'Japan', and 'art'. To get a larger picture of Japan's art history, this exhibition focuses on artists and works that are regarded to be at the halfway point of Nihonga and Western style paintings.
