Georges Rouault: Memories of the Artist’s StudioClosed

Since its opening in 2003, the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art has acquired works by Georges Rouault, one of the preeminent French painters of the 20th century. At present, the museum contains approximately 270 of the artist’s works. This exhibition introduces the institution’s Rouault collection with an emphasis on newly acquired works. Focusing on the artist’s studio as the birthplace of his art, the exhibition considers the environment and the materials that gave rise to Rouault’s paintings while introducing important works spanning his career. In addition, one section of the display space attempts to partially reproduce Rouault’s last studio, dating from his later years, through the use of his actual painting materials, desk, and other items. Don’t miss this special opportunity to unravel memories of the artist’s studio, a sacred space that remained off limits even to Rouault’s closest family members.
