Winter Exhibition CLOSED
Encounter with Unfamiliar Japanese Paintings
Discover Hidden Masterpieces
December 1 (Fri), 2017 ‐ February 28 (Wed), 2018
The Adachi Museum of Art houses 1,500 works in total, mainly including those by painters who flourished in the modern Japanese art world. Many of these were painted by masters such as Yokoyama Taikan, Takeuchi Seiho and Uemura Shoen. The collection, however, also includes numerous works by less well-known painters; some have been forgotten, although they once had good reputations and popularity in Japan and foreign countries, while others are largely unknown, despite flourishing in particular areas. Moreover, we will exhibit the unique works of famous painters’ that give different impressions from more well-known works, and works that have been exhibited less frequently.
This exhibition will introduce such unknown works as “hidden masterpieces.” We hope to give our guests the opportunity to discover unknown painters and masterpieces.
