Poster of the exhibition Between Collectivism and Individualism
The Japan Foundation is pleased to present Between Collectivism and Individualism - Japanese Avant-Garde of the 50s and 60s, an exhibition at Zachęta - National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Poland.
In the 1950s and 1960s, when Japan had completed its postwar recovery and remarkable economic growth was underway, young artists and artists' groups absorbed the energy of the nation's rapidly changing cities and society to pursue freer and more innovative modes of expression, producing a large number of fascinating works. This exhibition endeavors to trace the history of art in Japan after World War II through more than 100 paintings, sculptures, photographs, graphic designs and other works that embody this era, which marked a major turning point in Japanese art.
Such a cohesive and comprehensive presentation of Japanese avant-garde art overseas represents a rare opportunity, and we have high hopes that this exhibition will enjoy a highly positive response in Poland.
Major artists featured include Ay-O, Akasegawa Genpei, Ikeda Tatsuo, Takamatsu Jiro, Tanaka Atsuko, Hamada Chimei, and Yokoo Tadanori.
