The Greatest Eccentricity: Realism in Japanese Art

Fuchu Art Museum
Finished

Artists

Okyo Maruyama, Kokan Shiba, Sosen Mori et al.
First widely adopted in Japan around the time of the Meiji Restoration, Western Realism has become an artistic basis for Japanese painting and crafts. This does not mean there were no artists pursing Realist expressions during earlier periods, however. This exhibition introduces Edo-period artists such as Okyo Maruyama, Kokan Shiba, and Sosen Mori who sought out novel true-to-life approaches. These artists are known for the “eccentricity” of their works, and this show provokes thought on the many meanings of “real.” Some displays will be alternated during the exhibition period.
