Art is often said to be a “mirror of the times.” Its visual images are imprinted with the social condition and culture at the time of creation through artists’ sensitivities.
There is more to it than that. Art lives on through the ages and is therefore given new meanings by later generations. What art reflects are the changes in people’s sense of beauty and the way they look at society and history over the course of time, from the past when the works of art were created to the present.
In the year 2025, the 100th year of the Showa period (1926-1989) and the 80th year after World War II, this show will explore the possibilities for an art museum to approach history from a variety of perspectives, deciphering the memories deposited in art through free use of our collection and archives.
