In Dialogue with Nature From Friedrich, Monet, Van Gogh to Richter

To commemorate the post-renovation reopening of the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, and in collaboration with the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, this exhibition traces the development of modern art born out of the dialogue between nature and humankind.The transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries was accompanied by rapid modernization in many fields: industry, society, science. Artists, looking at nature with new knowledge and an altered gaze, created a diverse range of works in response to this always fertile source of inspiration.Works spanning from German Romanticism to the art of the twentieth century will be exhibited. At a time when the relationship between nature and humankind is undergoing profound reassessment, it is hoped that the artworks on display may lead visitors to a creative and heartfelt dialogue with the natural world.

The exhibition runs from June 4 - September 11, 2022 at the National Museum of Western Art, Taito City, Tokyo, 110-0007, Japan.
