Once travel restrictions were lifted, two generations of Japanese artists journeyed to Paris in the post-war era of the 1950s. The first knew the city from before the war. They were forced to return to Japan when fighting broke out, but hoped someday to return. The second generation was new to Paris. The early-1950s Japanese art world saw a rapid influx of influence from abroad and held major exhibitions of foreign art, as if breaking free from pent-up spiritual suffering. Japanese artists began seeking new values during this period, and art groups large and small forming the foundational elements of today’s Japanese art world assembled. Meanwhile, young Japanese artists abroad overcame the difficulties of the early post-war era and devoted themselves to new movements in Western art, carving out their own unique artistic expressions. Spotlighting the major players in post-war Japanese art, this exhibition looks at artists familiar with Paris before WWII and the younger generation that encountered it for the first time.
