About the Exhibition
The dynamic development of Abstract painting attempted throughout the twentieth century was identifiable more or less concurrently in Japan, too. It was in 1918 that KUME Tamijuro produced Off England in Britain. In the 1920s, MURAYAMA Tomoyoshi, who had been studying in Berlin, presented innovative works. In the 1930s, MURAI Masanari and HIROHATA Ken each opened up new expressions of their own. After World War II, SAITOH Ghiju (Yoshishige) attempted abstraction of a concept in Demon. In France, IMAI Toshimitsu, DOMOTO Hisao, and others who were involved in Art Informel created monumental works. Introduced from our collection are 22 examples of Japanese Abstraction, which continues to evolve diversely even today. We hope you will enjoy the diverse and rich world of Abstract expressions.Information
