Ai-Mitsu
Celebrating the 100th anniversary since he was born, this is a retrospective exhibition devoted to an exceptional painter from the World War II period, Ai-Mitsu, who had a huge influence on the history of modern Japanese art.
Ai-Mitsu was born in Hiroshima, moved to Tokyo in 1924 and spent time struggling with his peers from the art group called "Ikebukuro Montparnasse". He made his break-through with a piece called "Landscape with Eyes" in 1938. His works seem largely influenced by Surrealism, yet filled with mystery and originality; the sense of illusion in his paintings is attained after a thorough investigation of subject matter. He died in Shanhai, during the war.
Although there are not that many of his paintings left, he still has a broad reputation for his work. This exhibition consists of four chapters, featuring about 130 paintings including illusionistic pieces, self portraits, and others.
