Two early Post-Impressionist collectors in dialogue

French Impressionism was not only appreciated by Western collectors: it also found an early following in Japan. In 2022, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the Museum Folkwang presents its outstanding Post-Impressionist collection, assembled by Karl Ernst Osthaus―supplemented here by Impressionist highlights from the Kojiro Matsukata Collection, which laid the foundation for the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo.

Introducing these two collectors, the catalog features about 120 paintings, drawings and sculptures by Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Auguste Rodin, among others―as well as a new installation by Tabaimo and Chiharu Shiota, and East Asian works from the collections of Matsukata and Osthaus. These are accompanied by a short story from the bestselling Japanese author Sayaka Murata.

两位早期后印象派收藏家的对话

法国印象派不仅受到西方收藏家的赞赏，在日本也很早就得到了追随。2022年，在福克旺博物馆成立100周年之际，它将展出由卡尔·恩斯特·奥斯特豪斯（Karl Ernst Osthaus）收集的杰出后印象派藏品，并在此补充来自松方浩二郎（Kojiro Matsukata）收藏的印象派作品，该收藏为东京国立西方艺术博物馆奠定了基础。

本书收录了保罗·塞尚（Paul Cézanne）、保罗·高更（Paul Gauguin）、爱德华·马奈（Édouard Manet）、克劳德·莫奈（Claude Monet）、卡米尔·毕沙罗（Camille Pissarro）、皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿（Pierre-Auguste Renoir）和奥古斯特·罗丹（Auguste Rodin）等人的约120幅绘画、素描和雕塑作品，以及束芋（Tabaimo）和盐田千春（Chiharu Shiota）的新装置作品，还有松方（Matsukata）和奥斯特豪斯（Osthaus）收藏的东亚作品。伴随着这些作品的是日本畅销书作家村田沙耶香（Sayaka Murata）的短篇小说。
