Kon Wajiro (1888–1973) is known as a founder of "modernology" and a researcher of minka (traditional folk dwellings). These activities were firmly rooted in the life he led as an architect and designer who traveled constantly between town and country, closely observing and continually contemplating the lives of those he met.This retrospective exhibition presents the unique activities of Kon, as well as his unparalleled powers of observation, through the vast and diverse body of work he left behind including sketches, photographs, research data, and drawings.
Georges Rouault's artistic methods were unconventional even among modern painters. He eschewed the use of canvases and easels, dabbed on more paint before the previous coat had even dried, and left many works unfinished. Thanks to present-day restoration technology, we are slowly beginning to understand the methods behind his legendary production eccentricities. This exhibition dramatically presents the secrets revealed by studying Rouault's works in detail, the mysteries deepened by such findings, and the many puzzling details related to his signature works.
As art deco took Europe by storm in the 1920s with its intellectual designs and bold lines and shapes, the movement produced chic, modern interior designs that dramatically changed the look of living spaces. These, of course, included light fixtures. This exhibition focuses on aesthetically rich light fixtures produced by René Lalique, Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, Daum, and other artists and studios. It includes a section that recreates the original art deco mood by displaying the light fixtures with table settings and furniture.
The circus was one of the major themes that Georges Rouault pursued in his work. His portraits of various circus figures, especially clowns, has earned him the reputation as the greatest painter of clowns. This exhibition presents circus-themed works gathered from the Pompidou Center, Museum of Modern Art, Paris, and other institutions through the special cooperation of the Georges Rouault Foundation. Also on display are works and resources never before seen in public that depict the social and artistic contexts of Rouault's work, including the Montmartre artistic scene of the 19th to early 20th century, that shed light on his fascination with the circus.
For over half a century, Yukio Futagawa has worked and exhibited solely in architectural photography—works that present a definite critical perspective on the subject. His architectural journey around the world began in the 1950s, when he spent six years visiting traditional folk dwellings across Japan. Futagawa's photographs in the book The Essential Japanese House speak of the sturdiness the houses offer through their connection to the land, in addition to the labor and wisdom of the locals who built them. This first ever exhibition of these works turns the clock back to 1955 to offer glimpses of a Japan that no longer exists in much of the country.
