You can enjoy the essence of creative 20th century art with the addition of human figures.<\/p>\n

In the first chapter, “Cezanne: A Teacher of Modern Artists,<\/strong> ” C\u00e9zanne’s portraits such as “Portrait of Madame C\u00e9zanne” and “Portrait of Valier the Gardener”, which Berggr\u00fchn has loved since he acquired it at an auction, are presented. Introduction.<\/p>\n

Chapter 2, “Picasso and Black: Creation of a New Formative Language,”<\/strong> includes works such as “Portrait of Jaume Savartes,” which was painted in the latter half of Picasso’s “Blue Period,” as well as still life paintings from the late 1910s to the early 1920s. exhibition.

About half of the works on display in this exhibition are works by Picasso, including 35 that will be exhibited for the first time in Japan. The greatest feature of this exhibition is that you can fully enjoy the masterpieces representing each era of Picasso’s painting industry with this substantial volume.<\/p>\n

Chapter 3, “Picasso Between the World Wars: Classicism and Its Destruction” and Chapter 4, “Picasso Between the World Wars: The Image of Women,”<\/strong> feature a variety of Picasso works, including The Large Reclining Nude, which can be said to be the highlight of the exhibition. on display.<\/p>\n

In particular, the treatment of women in Picasso’s works is sometimes controversial, such as protests.
\nThis is my personal impression, but when you face the work directly, you can definitely feel the warmth and kindness in the eyes. I hope you will thoroughly enjoy the subtleties of Picasso’s emotions contained in the female figures displayed in Chapter 4.<\/p>\n

The final chapter consists of works by Picasso and Matisse, who established their reputation as the two great masters of the 20th century in the post-World War II period, and works by Giacometti, who reached maturity in this era. It is truly a masterpiece to see the works of these three great artists, with whom Berggr\u00fchn had direct contact, resonate in one space.<\/p>\n

\u201cEuropean modern art has been greatly influenced by Japan. Without it, European modern art would not have developed.This exhibition will further advance exchanges between Japan and Europe. But I think it is very meaningful to exhibit it for the first time in Japan.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Joachim Jaeger (Deputy Director of the New National Gallery Berlin), who said he had a strong desire to introduce the museum’s collection in Japan, emphasized the significance of holding this exhibition.<\/p>\n

We are currently living in an era of turmoil symbolized by the Ukrainian War, but the works of artists who have continued to create while experiencing a great war offer us great suggestions and the vitality to survive in this era. may give you<\/p>\n
