NAM Collection 2024 Special Exhibition:
Nature and Humanity / In Between Artworks and Materials


Overview

Since its foundation as the Nagano Prefectural Shinano Art Museum in 1966, the Nagano Prefectural Art Museum has collected mainly works by local artists and landscapes depicting the nature of Shinshū. The collection, which is based on modern Japanese art, includes landscapes found in the Shinshū region and observed through the eyes of artists who visited the region. It is also important to note that our collection of over 4,600 works includes art works using a variety of expressions and forms that are not limited to the conventional range of paintings and sculptures, such as drawings, illustrations, and works using words.

 This exhibition will feature the NAM (Nagano Prefectural Art Museum) collection in two chapters; “Nature and Humanity” and “In Between Artworks and Materials,” and will include works that are rarely exhibited. Chapter I traces fragments of natural expression in modern Japanese art, while Chapter II introduces modern and contemporary art works that lies “in between” artworks and materials. We hope it will prove an opportunity for you to appreciate our collection, which is colored with various artistic expressions.
