"Exploration of Images -Book Illustrations by the 20th Century Masters" Exhibition "Exploration of Images -Book Illustrations by the 20th Century Masters" Exhibition
Avant-garde artists of the 20th century such as Picasso, Matisse and Chagall explored forms of artistic expression that straddled multiple genres throughout their lives, creating not only paintings but also prints, ceramics and more. In the mid-20th century, with the rise of art dealers and publishers like Vollard and Schilla, the world of extravagant book illustrations entered its golden age. Centering on France, "artist's books" started to flourish with abundant illustrations selected by painters of the time. With a focus on works housed in the Urawa Art Museum, which is known for its picture book collection, this exhibition introduces various notable pieces including Matisse's "Jazz", Chagall's "Daphnis and Chloé" and Picasso's "Dream and Lie of Franco". In addition, a total of 210 works including oil paintings that address themes like "Dancers and Circus", "Tales to be Told" and "My Homeland" will be on view. See website for details on related events (Japanese only).
"Seasonal Delights" Exhibition "Seasonal Delights" Exhibition
Japan's four seasons exhibit a wealth of difference in their natural phenomena, which usher in the approaching spring, summer, fall or winter.

This exhibition showcases a number of modern paintings that introduce viewers to the pleasures of late autumn and early winter landscapes. In addition, in recognition of this year marking the final run of exhibitions at the Kankai Pavilion, a number of paintings featuring festive New Year and astrological motifs will be on display as well.

This exhibition will present 12 modern and contemporary artists who will help visitors liberate themselves from the confinement of the visual.
"The Reemergence of the Nihon Bijutsu-in" Exhibition
The Nihon Bijutsu-in was established by Okakura Tenshin in 1898. Yokoyama Taikan and other painters who were members of this group succeeded in establishing a new Japanese style painting. The two were later commissioned by the government to organize Art exhibitions but relationships were problematic. This resulted in Taikan trying to re-establish the momentum of the Bijutsu-in that had been inactive for years after Tenshin's death. This exhibition will showcase works by those artists who, through the Bijutsu-in, contributed to make the Taisho period extremely rich in terms of artistic explorations.

"Stillness into Color: Inframince of Moonlight" Exhibition
This exhibition is based on a vision that stems from a neologism concept called Inframince proposed by one of the highly influential artists of the 20th century, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). Duchamp created this term to describe the subtle (infra-thin) boundaries that appear when one condition shifts into another, which he perceived as a source of art. For example, Duchamp found inframince in the warmth that remains after a person has risen and left a seat. Because, between the condition of the person being present and the condition of complete absence, there is a barely perceptible borderline condition in which a slight trace of the person's body heat remains behind. By this definition, we can perhaps find inframince in the pale moon that remains in the morning sky after sunrise. This two-part exhibition brings together a selection of works from the Middle Ages to the contemporary that share a similar spirit with concept of moonlight as a type of inframince. The first part of the exhibition presents Japanese art ranging from Buddhist art of the Middle Ages to Okyo Maruyama, as well as tracing the development of British landscape painting and prints of J.M. William Turner and others representing a high aesthetic deriving from nature with rich philosophical aspects. The second part explores the appeal of contemporary art that contains equally deep philosophical aspects created through unique methodologies based on what might be considered a form of natural science. It is our hope that amidst the works of this exhibition and the quiet reverberations of their colors you will find directions for art of the future. Please see event website for details about related events.
"The Affirmative Vision - The World of Wang Shuye" Exhibition
Born in 1963, Wang Shuye received Gold National Award for Excellence in 1989 with his graduation work for China Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Since his first exhibition in 2001 in Japan, his works continue to change at every exhibition. This exhibition will look at the current state of Wang's experiments while tracing back the origin of his artistic endeavor up to his works as a teenager.
"Eyes and Hands of Hisui Sugiura" Exhibition
Hisui Sugiura (1876-1965) is a designer who achieved outstanding success from the Meiji through to the Showa Period. Although he studied nihonga painting in his hometown of Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, he started pursuing a career as a designer after moving to Tokyo, fascinated by the Art Nouveau style later employed by the yoga painter Seiki Kuroda. A series of work that Sugiura created for the Mitsukoshi department store and several of his posters rank among the masterpieces of modern Japanese design. This exhibition focuses on Sugiura's devotion to sketching - a process that was fundamental to his creations. Starting in his early days right up until his late career, he produced a great number of dynamic designs using plants and animals as his main motifs. For Sugiura, a "sketch" had more significance than the act of simply depicting subjects as they were. For him, it was about how to accurately render the infinite permutations of a single motif and to distill the vitality of his subjects through his own designs - concerns universally shared not only by designers, but also creators working in various other disciplines at the time. This exhibition showcases representative work as well as sketches and photographs from Sugiura's early years that have rarely been exhibited before, aiming to trace the entire career of this prominent figure. Moreover, Sugiura's designs will be examined from various perspectives through a presentation of crafts and objects from all over the world that exerted a considerable influence on the honing of his "eyes and hands" as a designer. See website for details on related events.

Hisae Imai "A Testimony to Life - 40 Years with Horses"
Enchanted by horses, Hisae Imai hascaptured them in photographs for over 40 years. Her activities that took her around the world drew much respect from fellow horse lovers as the fact that major international racetracks have prepared a special position for her to take photographs. After making a sensational debut in 1956 she lost her eye sight for more than a year and a half due to a car accident. The encounter with horses came after this period and they became for her the symbol of life with assertive strength. Commemorating her death, this exhibition will show nearly 100 works produced after the major retrospective held in this gallery in 2002.
"Garden and Interior: Visions of Intimate World by Bonnard and Matisse" Exhibition
Gardens and interiors are spaces closely related to our everyday lives. Both enjoy a long tradition as subjects for painting. With the rise of bourgeois society in nineteenth-century France, the painters associated with Impressionism often treated gardens and interiors as spaces reflecting the lives of their contemporaries. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, painters reexamined these motifs in depictions of their own every living environment, and they became important sites of artistic exploration. This tendency is exemplified by Claude Monet's treatment of the gardens around his house at Giverny during his later years, Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard's intimate scenes of family and friends, and Henri Matisse's constructions of uniquely decorative pictorial space based on his studio and female models. The everyday world represented by gardens and interiors became an important stage for the revolutionary developments of painting that took place between the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century. The collection of European paintings in the Pola Museum of Art contains many examples of this trend in painting in which artists turned their gaze toward everyday life. Painters placed themselves in gardens and interiors, perceiving these spaces with their own eyes and creating a personal vision of the world. This exhibition presents the world they discovered, concentrating especially on the paintings of Bonnard and Matisse. By exploring the background and motivation behind their work, we hope that this exhibition will help viewers understand how these artists responded to their everyday environment and expressed it in their art.
