Nevertheless, the custom of depicting in works of art and publicly appreciating naked and semi-naked human bodies is relatively new in Japan, introduced only after the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912) as an element of a foreign culture mainly via France. After that, many painters explored various ways of presenting nude bodies before the custom eventually established itself firmly in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is eroticism necessary for art? How can we strike a proper balance between the two? Who is to determine the properness of the balance? While people including art lovers and the police were involved in such arguments, painters tried to figure out ways to handle nudes, having them lie or stand on their heads, with their limbs stretched or shortened, or lending unusual colors to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presenting 100 oils dating from 1880s to 1940s, this exhibition explores the origin of the still actual issues around art and nudity. Through the exhibits ranging from Important Cultural Properties to little-known controversial works, we hope the show will provide a new perspective on the history of Japanese art centering on nudity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n    <div class=\"momat-button-gray-arrow\">\n        <a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/kinbiopac.momat.go.jp\/opac\/opac_details\/?lang=1&amp;amode=11&amp;bibid=LB00178642\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Catalogue        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/480-00-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-02\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours &amp; Admissions<\/h2>\n\n\n<dl class=\"momat-dl\">\n    \n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Location<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Art Museum Special Exhibition Gallery (1F)<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Date<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>2011.11.15(Tue)-2012.1.15(Sun)<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Time<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>10:00-17:00 (Friday is 10:00-20:00)<br>\u203bLast admission is 30 minutes before closing.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Closed<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Mondays [except January 2 and 9, 2012]<br>December 28, 2011-January 1, 2012<br>January 10, 2012<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Admission<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p><strong>Adults: \u00a5850 (600)<br>College and university students: \u00a5450 (250)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*All prices include tax.<br>*Including the admission fee for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp.il3c.com\/english\/artmuseum\/Valerio_Olgiati.html\">Valerio Olgiati<\/a><\/em> and <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.momat.go.jp\/english\/artmuseum\/permanent20111029.html\">Permanent Collection<\/a>.<br>*Prices in parentheses are for groups of more than 20 persons.<br>*Free for high school students and under 18.<br>*Persons with disability and one person accompanying them are admitted free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Organizer<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/dl>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":122326,"template":"","exhibition_type":[261],"exhibition_year":[372],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Undressing Paintings: Japanese Nudes 1880-1945 \uff08\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\uff09- \u6771\u4eac\u56fd\u7acb\u8fd1\u4ee3\u7f8e\u8853\u9928<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/en\/exhibitions\/480\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Undressing Paintings: Japanese Nudes 1880-1945 \uff08\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\uff09- \u6771\u4eac\u56fd\u7acb\u8fd1\u4ee3\u7f8e\u8853\u9928\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About the Exhibition Paintings of naked figures are still being produced widely, and are familiar to us.
