Overview
The beginning of the 20th century saw the expansion of abstract art beyond the territories in Europe where it started. A growing number of abstract artists appeared in Japan as well. Even at present there are many artists who continue the quest for a new kind of artistic expression. This exhibit will introduce a diverse assortment of abstract artwork with a focus on the works of Watanabe Toyoshige, who maintains a studio in Nakagawa Town. Please enjoy the many works—full of personality—of artists who have continued to be active at the forefront of modern art.
