Dreams, illusions, and the great forces of nature and the wild have guided artistic expression since ancient times. This exhibition introduces modern and contemporary art related to the human unconscious and intuition, which lie beyond reason, through works from the Asakawa Collection and private collections of the museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Gunma, and the Ashikaga Municipal Museum of Art.
In the second half of the 19th century, in the shadow of modernization, Western Europe was characterized by paintings, poems, and stories that were painted in secret, focusing on nature and human life and death, while in the 20th century, the devastation of World War I cast doubt on rationalism, and Surrealism, which explored pure human spiritual activity and internal images, flourished. The first half of this exhibition introduces fantastic prints and paintings guided by the subconscious, from Granville and Redon to Vermeer, Sonnenstern, Matta, and Appel.
