Yamaoka Ryobun, Spannung (1938, private collection)

In the late 1930's, some artists rose in revolt against traditional expression also in the world of Nihonga or Japanese-style painting. Incorporating new trends such as Bauhaus and surrealism, the reform movement can be described as the first embodiment of avant-garde consciousness in Nihonga. Centering on Rekitei Bijutsu Kyokai formed in 1938, this exhibition introduces avant-garde Japanese-style paintings until the formation of the Pan Real Art Association, including pieces that have never been exhibited.

This exhibition travels from The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto (September 3-October 17, 2010) and to Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum (February 22-March 27, 2011)
