Eigetu Kitazawa, Hosei Nakamura et al.
The Museum has been acquiring Kyoto modern art since its inauguration in 1933, and currently has holdings of over 3,800 pieces of artwork comprised of a core of Japanese paintings along with Western-style paintings, sculpture, prints, crafts, and calligraphy.
The Museum is particularly proud of its highly regarded collection of paintings by Meiji and Showa period Kyoto artists. Introducing paintings with seasonal themes in tandem with the changing seasons, the Museum gives viewers a rich sense of the seasons in Kyoto.
A feeling of summer in the early Showa period can be gleaned from works such as Kitano Tsunetomi Sisters of a Merchant Family, depicting a hot summer evening conversation in a garden, and Showa period oil painter Nakamura Ken-ichi’s The Seto Inland Sea of Japan.
To give a feeling of activities from midwinter and early spring, this exhibition features works such as female painter Kitazawa Eigetsu’s Bright Kimono, depicting girls preparing their spring kimonos, and Nakamura Hosei’s humorous winter peony brocade tapestry of plants wrapped in protective covering for the winter.
Venue: Main Building（South Wing）1F
