1945±5：The Works that Survived through the Turbulen Reconstruction Era

Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art

This event has ended.

This is an exhibition showcasing artworks (mainly oil paintings, but also sketches, Japanese-style paintings and sculptures) created between 1940 and 1950. In Japan, the first half of the 1940s was the period of the Asia-Pacific War, and the second half was the period of the allied occupation. Some works specifically reflect the atmosphere of this turbulent era, while others intend to stay away from it. The number of exhibited artists amounts to approximately 70, including Tsuguharu Foujita (Leonard Foujita), Koiso Ryohei, Kazuki Yasuo, and Mizuki Shigeru.
