Heizo Kanayama
《Deserted Changchun》 1918

This exhibition reviews our collection formed over some 50 years, focusing on our collection policy and the roles it has played. We hope this will be an opportunity to prove that our collection is “the best,” so don’t miss it!

Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh 《Cypresses》1889
The Metropolitan Museum of Art ,
Rogers Fund 1949 (49.30) Jan. 25 (Sat.) – Mar. 29 (Sun.), 2020
After deciding to be a painter, Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) spent a decade enthusiastically learning from the works of past masters and contemporary artists. This exhibition focuses on some of the artists who had the biggest effect on van Gogh; namely, those from the Hague School who taught him to imitate nature when painting, and the Impressionists who later taught him to utilize the effects that vivid colors have. Through this exhibition, you can gain insight into how van Gogh established his unique style incorporating elements from these artists.
