Finished

Artists

Bernd and Hilla Becher, Thomas Struth, Andreas Gursky, Shinro Ohtake, Chikuha Otake, Umetaro Azechi et al.
Along with several Nihon-ga , which convey the seasonal transition from summer to fall, in the “Highlights” section (Room 1, 4th floor), visitors are welcome to enjoy a selection of modern Western works by artists such as Cézanne and Braque, and masterpieces of Japanese oil painting. In Room 4, there is a special display on Azechi Umetaro, a print artist who loved mountains, and in contrast, in Room 5, a group of distinctive works dealing with cities and crowds. In Room 7 (3rd floor), there is a focus on the depiction of light in postwar art. And in the special display on the theme of “Night and the Moon” in Nihon-ga, in Room 10, one may explore the delicacies in which light is expressed.

In conjunction with the Thomas Ruff exhibition on the first floor, modern German photography from the period between World War I and II is also presented in Room 9 (3rd floor), and contemporary German photography in Room 11, 12 (2nd floor). By comparing these pictures to Ruff’s photographs, you are sure to arrive at a deeper understanding of the works.

Finally, in Gallery 4 (2nd floor), please enjoy a small exhibit titled “Modern Landscape: For the Pleasure of People and Scenery – Nara Yoshitomo Curates the MOMAT Collection.” By viewing these works through the eyes of the artist, you are certain to discover new charms. Please enjoy treating yourself to the many and unique pleasures of the MOMAT Collection.
