Welcome to the MOMAT Collection! Here are a few of the highlights of this installment of the exhibition. Some of the Nihon-ga (Japanese-style paintings) are displayed for a limited period in order to help preserve the works. Of special note in this edition are several Important Cultural Properties, which are only shown publicly once a year. The exhibition is divided into two periods, the first running from Nov. 22 to Jan. 15, and the second from Jan. 17 to Feb. 12. During the former, viewers can enjoy Kaburaki Kiyokata’s Portrait of Sanyutei Encho in the Highlights section (Room 1, 4th floor), and during the latter, Yasuda Yukihiko’s Camp at Kisegawa (Room 10, 3rd floor). This edition also includes several rooms devoted to individual artists. Room 3 (4th floor), for example, features the prominent Taisho Period painter Kishida Ryusei, and Room 4 focuses on the singular Nihon-ga painter Hada Teruo. Room 6 (3rd floor) showcases the war-record paintings of Nakamura Kenichi, and Room 7 is given over to Kawara On, an internationally renowned artist who died two years ago. Room 9 focuses on Alfred Stieglitz, one of the foremost American photographers. Moreover, in conjunction with the Endless: The Paintings of Yamada Masaaki exhibition (held on the first floor), we present abstract paintings by some of Yamada’s contemporaries in Room 8 (3rd floor). And in conjunction with the Ei-Q 1935-1937: Seeking the “Real” in the Dark exhibition, held in Gallery 4 (2nd floor), we examine Japanese avant-garde painting of the 1930s in Room 5 (4th floor). Comparing these works with those on display in the special exhibitions promises an even more enjoyable viewing experience.
