Marie LAURENCIN, Two Young Girls, 1923

Marie LAURENCIN, The Princesses, 1928, Nakanoshima Museumof Art, Osaka

Marie Laurencin (1883-1956) was a female painter active in the first half of the twentiethcentury. She studied at the Académie Humbert and then began her career as a Cubist painter. In1914, she married a German baron and automatically acquired German citizenship. Thus, when
World War I began, she was compelled to seek asylum outside of France. In 1920, she chose
divorce. Returning to Paris, she achieved success at a solo exhibition in 1921. She lived almost
entirely in Paris, even after the outbreak of World War II, and continued creating there until her
death, at seventy-two, in 1956. This exhibition introduces Laurencin’s oeuvre in terms of several
themes, and, comparing her work with that of other painters with whom she is associated,explores the fascinating nature of her paintings.

July 27 [Sat.] - October 14 [Mon.], 2024

MARUYAMA Okyo, Puppies in Bamboo Bush, Ducks on Waves, Edo period, 18th century

Today the works of art neatly displayed in a museum’s gallery are public objects that anyone
may enjoy seeing. Looking back to when those works were created, however, we realize thatthey were made as furnishings for a residence or painted to decorate a private room: theycame about through a relationship with the person who owned them. Moreover, over time,they passed into other persons’ hands or were inherited by later generations. This exhibition
presents a variety of works from the Ishibashi Foundation Museum from many times andplaces—ancient and modern, East and West—to explore the situations under which works of art
were created and how they were treated and passed on. Visitors will have the opportunity toimagine and experience those many contexts.

Venue:

Artizon Museum, 6, 5, 4F Galleries

Opening hours:

10:00 – 18:00 (until 20:00 on Fridays)*Last entry 30 minutes before closing.

Closed:Mondays (except August 12, September 16, 23, October 14), August 13, September 17, 24

The Artizon Museum has been holding its annual Jam Session, an exhibition consisting of acollaboration of works from the Ishibashi Foundation Collection and new works by acontemporary artist, since the museum opened in 2020. For the fifth Jam Session, we haveinvited Mohri Yuko, an artist of world-wide acclaim, to take part.
Primarily working in installations and sculpture, giving form to the flow or change
latent in a specific space, whether magnetism and electric current, air and dust, water andtemperature, Mohri opens up new paths to perception for the persons present. She does not
try to control the environment but to build creative relationships aloft in that space. That
approach, concerning the global environmental problems so urgent in recent years, may be
one of the reasons her work is attracting such interest.
This exhibition, Mohri’s first large-scale exhibition in Tokyo, presents new and older
works by Mohri along with works from the Ishibashi Foundation Collection chosen from her
perspective as an artist, presenting “an organic, tranquil space filled with subtle sounds andmotions” to be experienced only here.

November 2 [Sat.], 2024 - February 9 [Sun.], 2025

Pierre-Auguste RENOIR, Mlle Georgette

André DERAIN, Portrait of Vlaminck playing

Charpentier Seated, 1876

the Violin, 1905

Pliny the Elder’s encyclopedic Naturalis Historia (77 CE) includes the story of the daughter of aceramic tile maker in Corinth, a city in ancient Greece, wanting a record of the young man sheloved, who was setting out on a trip. She drew an outline of his shadow on the wall. In thelatter half of the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century, that story was often mentioned
as the origin of painting. In fact, if we look at the history of art in Europe, “depicting a person,”figure painting, has long been a significant element in creating works. For example, selfportraits have been both opportunities to display one’s skill and experimental settings fortrying new styles. Portrait painting has been a staple source of painters’ livelihoods. In addition
to actual human figures, portraits also depict the characters in stories. This exhibition
introduces the abundance of paintings of the human figure.

from the 1940s on, his studio was a vitally important
space, where daily life and creating came together.
