Yasuo Kuniyoshi "Light and Shadow of the American Dream"
This event has ended.
At Gunma Museum of Art, Tatebayashi
Media: Painting, Art Talk
Living and working to pay his way to study in America since a young age, Yasuo Kuniyoshi ranks with Paris-based Tsuguharu Fujita (1886-1968) and Takashi Murakami (1962-) as one of the Japanese artists who met with the greatest success abroad. Speaking in today's terms, Kuniyoshi was a sort of Ichiro of the art world. This exhibition introduces his works from the Fukutake Collection, one of the best repositories of Kuniyoshi's work in terms of both quality and volume. Commemorative talks and art forums, as well as curator-led art talks, are also scheduled. In addition, the works of Gunma-born artist Thomas Nagai (1886-1966) who worked in America at the same time as Kuniyoshi, are also on view.
