Takehisa Yumeji's Berlin-era masterpiece revealed after 90 years in his hometown Okayama
The Yumeji Art Museum in Okayama presents for the first time a painting from Takehisa Yumeji's Berlin period, returned to his birthplace after nearly a century.
This exhibition sheds light on a little-known period in Yumeji's life, as Berlin was grappling with the rise of Nazism. Through these loans, the museum underscores the significance of this homecoming, allowing the public to see how the artist renewed his perspective on Japanese painting through contact with foreign culture. The event takes place across two venues: the museum's main building and the artist's birthplace, offering a comprehensive journey into the world of this master of prints and painting.
