Kinuko Emi
Emi Kinuko (1923–2015) was the first female painter from Japan to exhibit her works at the Venice Biennale (31st edition, 1962). While the Art Informel movement was gaining momentum in Japan from 1956 onward, her style evolved intriguingly from semi-abstraction to geometric abstraction, the latter reflecting the early days of Japan’s period of rapid economic growth. In 1961, however, these geometric forms began to disintegrate, and by 1964, her work had developed into what is known as “hot abstraction”. This exhibition, commemorating the 10th anniversary of her passing, features key works from the museum’s collection, with a focus on those shown at the Venice Biennale.
