"Nostaligia, Novelty - Taisho Chic" Exhibition
Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art
Finished
SHARE
In between the Meiji and Showa periods, the Taisho period lasted only 15 years, but gave birth to a period of democracy, individualism and romanticism in which western art deco had an important influence on culture.
For this exhibition, one of the museum's curators has selected works ranging from the Taisho period to early Showa period from the Japanese art collection at the Honolulu Academy of Art, centered around the Patricia Salmon collection. Around 80 nihonga paintings and prints of this period that depict the "moga" modern girls of the Taisho period, as well as scenes from the red light industry will be on display.
Following its display at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, this exhibition traveled around America, and now at last comes to Japan, where all the works originated.
