This exhibition explores the emotion of nostalgia (“sentimentality for the past”) found in nostalgic landscapes. “Nostalgia” derives from a compound of the Greek nostos (“homecoming”) and álgos (“pain”) meaning the emotional ache of being unable to return to one’s homeland. Originally denoting homesickness, the word today refers broadly to the complex emotions we feel when encountering scenes or situations that stimulate our recollections of days gone by.
This exhibition features artists of diverse generations whose works range from nostalgic paintings of everyday hometown life and memories of people to expressions of fantastic art. Viewers are invited to soak up “scenes that live in memory,” reminisce about old times, and enjoy sweet and sour feelings of nostalgia. Nostalgia is not always sentimentality about the past, however; it also has a power to refresh our spirit by helping us remember our childhood dreams and original aspirations. We hope your journey in a world of nostalgic images, conjured by artists of vastly different generations and backgrounds, will help you face life anew in these times of drastic change.
