MAETA KANJI — Poesy and Realism: In Commemoration of his 130th Birth and the Centennial of the 1930 Society

Saturday, July 4 - Sunday, August 30, 2026

*Tickets can be purchased from HERE

Despite passing away at the age of 33, Maeta Kanji (1896–1930) left a significant mark on modern Western-style painting in Japan. He pursued a fusion of poetic sensibility and realism, rooted in the traditions of Western-style painting, and created art that took many different forms. To celebrate the 130th anniversary of Maeta’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the 1930 Society, of which he was a founding member, this exhibition explores the evolution of his prolific artistic career. It also features works by his 1930 Society colleagues, offering a closer look at the significance of Maeta’s art.
