Introduced here are approximately eighty works from the Ishibashi Foundation collection, which amounts to three thousand works. They are mainly recent acquisitions conveying the “now” of Artizon Museum. While inheriting Bridgestone Museum of Art’s tradition of Impressionism and modern Japanese yoga (Western-style paintings), Artizon Museum continues to expand the range of its collection by focusing on acquisitions of contemporary art, female artists’ works, and early modern Japanese art too. This is the first time its new collection is being loaned elsewhere and exhibited here in Kurume.
