"Modern Age in Japanese Sculpture" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Mie Prefectural Art Museum
Media: Sculpture
Although versatile three-dimensional figures had been produced such as Buddhist statues, other deity figures, dolls, objects and architectural decorations, the term "Chokoku (sculpture)" did not exist in Japan before the modern age. During the Meiji period, molding techniques and the concept of art were imported from the west. As a result, the term "Chokoku (sculpture)" and the notion of creating "sculpture for art's sake" was invented. Since then, Japanese sculpture has synthesized western influence and Japanese tradition. The exhibition is composed of eight sections by the movement between the Meiji period and the 1960's, featuring about 90 pieces of representative works to find the significance of modernism in Japanese sculptural history.
