About

Takiguchi Shuzo (1903–1979) was an art critic and poet who introduced surrealism to Japan, and kept on providing young artists with philosophical support.

In addition to thirteen works by Takiguchi, this exhibition presents works by surrealist painters such as Max Ernst and Joan Miró who attracted the critic; prewar avant-garde painters including Kitawaki Noboru; artists who joined the avant-garde artists’ group “Jikken Kobo” (lit. Experimental Workshop) including Yamaguchi Katsuhiro, Fukushima Hideko and Otsuji Kiyoji; and postwar avant-garde artists such as Akasegawa Gempei and Arakawa Shusaku. All the exhibits are from our collection.
