To commemorate its reopening, the National Museum of Western Art presents an exhibition in cooperation with Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany that traces the development of modern art born from dialogues between nature and humanity. During the 19th and 20th centuries, when rapid modernization progressed in many fields including industry and science, artists also confronted nature with new knowledge and eyes, producing a wide variety of works. Some ventured out of their studios into the light of the outdoors to capture the passing of time, while others sought eternal visions in nature, developing conceptual and inner visions into innovative figurative experiments.
Museum Folkwang and the National Museum of Western Art were founded on the private collections of Karl Ernst Osthaus (1874-1921) and Kojiro Matsukata (1866-1950), whose lifetimes overlapped. This exhibition will present over 100 paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs from the collections of the two museums from their openings to the present, displaying works ranging from German Romanticism to 20th century painting. Focus is placed on Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to highlight artists’ sensitivity to nature in modern times.
