Idemitsu Sazo and the Resonance of Beauty―Itaya Hazan, Kosugi Hōan, and Georges Rouault
The first museum director Idemitsu Sazo (1885-1981) was known for building close relations with artists from his period and their creative activities. Itaya Hazan (1872-1963) and Kosugi Hōan (1881-1964) are representative artists whom Sazo had engaged with. This exhibition presents Hazan’s ceramics with the elegant, luminous design and Hōan’s works that reflect the “Eastern ideal” through oil and Japanese painting, alongside works by Sazo’s contemporaries Georges Rouault (1871-1958) and Sam Francis (1923-94).
