Emily Kame Kngwarreye Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The National Art Center, Tokyo
Media: Painting
Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1910-1996) is one of the representative Australian artists. During her carrer, she produced beautifully innovative works with her unique Aboriginal view of the world. On the other hand, her works are extremely modern and can be compared to abstract expressionists' works. Over 120 works, including well-known "Big Yum Dreaming", will be on display, revealing art of Kngwarreye for the first time in Japan.
Please see exhibition website for more details.
