The Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu "Odilon Redon"

The French painter Odilon Redon was active during the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. His sensitivity, sharpened both by loneliness and an extraordinary imagination in his isolated life, led him to depict in his works a mysterious world of dreams and fantasy, which continues to impress us to this day. This exhibition features some 200 works from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu. This is one of the very rare occasions when so many of Redon's works can be seen in one place in Japan

Special Planned Exhibition "Sanzo Wada"

Sanzo Wada (1883-1967), who won the prize (Second prize) for the two consecutive years at the first (with his painting "South Wind") and the second exhibitions sponsored by the Ministry of Education, showed remarkably active performance in the modern oil painting in Japan. Though his reputation as a painter was been established, his interests did not remain in oil painting. The exhibition focuses on Sanzo Wada as a multitalented artist who challenged in diverse fields. Please enjoy his creativity of great variety.
