KANO Mitsuo — Rūpa, Light, Fluttering Things
From the Museum Collection

About the Exhibition

Kano Mitsuo (1933–) is a self-taught artist who has pursued rich imagery independent of contemporary trends. This exhibition of Kano's prints, which span from the mid-1950s to the 2000s, illustrates the artist's development from his early monochrome etchings to the color prints that emerged from the 1960s onward. Together with his prints, the exhibition will introduce sculptural objects and oil paintings newly donated by the artist. Based on the term "rūpa (color)," we will trace Kano's 70-odd years of creative exploration into his own unique world of color.
