The Never Ending Journey of Creation The Museum's Collection of Pictures

Mar 19, 2016－Jun 5, 2016

Twenty years have passed since Asahi Beer Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art opened in April 1996.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, we present a special exhibition titled “The Never Ending Journey of Creation” which focuses on stories of “journeys” in creation from past to present.
The exhibition will show a selection of pictures　from the museum’s collection, including distinguished early works by Vincent van GOGH(1853-1890) and Pablo PICASSO(1881-1973), landscape paintings of Claude MONET(1840－1926), Paul SIGNAC(1863－1935), and Marc CHAGALL(1887－1985), who drew all over Europe, a portrait painting of Tsuguharu FOUJITA(1886−1968) who travelled thorough Latin America looking for his next form of inspiration, and pieces by

Edgar DEGAS(1834－1917), Amedeo MODIGLIANI(1884－1920), and Pierre-Auguste RENOIR(1841－1919), who found exotic cultures such as Japan, Africa and Oceania as their source of creation.
In addition, it exhibits an ink painting of Bernard LEACH(1887－1979), a potter who played the role of a bridge between East and West, ceramic works of Shoji HAMADA(1894－1978) who learnt pottery techniques in Britain, Okinawa and many different areas, Korean and Japanese crafts handpicked by Noritaka ASAKAWA(1884－1964) , a researcher of Korean old ceramics, and Soetsu YANAGI(1889－1961), a philosopher.
