"A Museum of Belgian Visionary Art" Exhibition

Bunkamura Museum of Art
Finished

Artists

Fernand Khnopff, Jean Delville, James Ensor, Paul Delvaux, Rene Magritte
At the turn of the 20th century there appeared in Belgium a number of superbly gifted painters - symbolists who were able to express the deepest corners of the human heart, and surrealists who managed to paint the world of dreams and the unconscious. Together, they produced what can only be called the Genealogy of Visionary Art.

Himeji City Museum of Art owns one of the largest and richest collections of Belgian art in Japan. From this museum we have borrowed oil paintings, drawings, and prints of artists like Fernand Khnopff, Jean Delville and James Ensor (late 19th century) to Paul Delvaux and Rene Magritte (20th century) to show highlights of Belgian classical modern art, which underwent an evolution of a density rarely seen elsewhere.
