Time and the Painting−24 Episodes

Aug 02, 2014 - Sep 23, 2014

This exhibition focuses on time, a transitory element that slips in and out of view in paintings. Works that capture moments in the passing day, like the light reflected from the sea as the sun is setting; works that depict motifs in which are inscribed the times in which their artists lived; works that trace the season in which they were created and the process leading to their completion; works that convey time as experienced in uncanny, fantastic worlds: these paintings communicate the many faces of time, in 24 episodes. Visitors to the Bridgestone Museum of Art will enjoy transcending our time-space continuum through Time and the Painting. The exhibition includes some 160 works ranging from ancient art to Rembrandt, modern and contemporary art, especially Monet, Renoir, and other Impressionists, and modern art from Japan, including work by Fujishima Takeji and Koide Narashige.
