Collection Exhibition "Exotic Landscapes"

Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum / Hasegawa Machiko Memorial Museum

Finished

Machiko Hasegawa traveled to Europe in July of 1964, the same year that overseas travel was liberalized. Machiko continued her outings, sometimes with her sister, sometimes with her mother, and sometimes with both, visiting more than 20 countries in her lifetime. All were the result of Machiko's curiosity about the unknown. It was around 1955 that Machiko and her sister, Mariko, began collecting artwork, many of which were based on motifs of foreign landscapes. In this exhibition of the museum's collection, "Exotic Landscapes," a selection of works from the collection will be on display, including works by artists who have personally visited foreign countries or painted with thoughts of foreign lands in their minds.

In this exhibition of the collection, "Landscapes of Foreign Lands," we present a selection of works from the collection, including paintings by artists who have visited foreign countries themselves or painted while thinking about foreign lands. The exhibition features work by Kaii Higashiyama, "Pasture by the River," which depicts the great nature of China; Matazo Kayama, "Landscape of Blue and Green in the Northern Song Dynasty"; Ikuo Hirayama, "Camel Ride under the Moon" and "Afghans," which depict the Silk Road; Shaoliang Yang, “Jubao Tianchi” which depicts Jiuzhaigou; Takashi Arai, "Brilliance" which depicts India; Kohei Matsumura, "Funauta," which depicts gondolas in Venice; French-trained painter Takanori Ogisu, “Belleville Landscape with Poster”; and Utrillo "The Church of Marolles."
