Collection Exhibition "Twilight, Fading - 'Shadow' in Contemporary Art"
"Tasokare" (twilight) and "Kawatare" (who is he?) are archaic words referring to the time of day when the boundary between light and darkness gently blends, and the outlines of things waver. Focusing on the presence of "shadow" as things change in this way, we trace the uncertain images and sensations found in 20th-century art. We introduce various expressions that emerge in between, including many works acquired in recent years, such as Samiro Yunoki's (1922–2024) collage work "Night Painting" made from antique fabrics, Kazuo Okazaki's (1930–2022) "Hisashi" which depicts a figure standing in the gap between light and shadow, and the light and shadow etched in the photographs of Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948–) and Daido Moriyama (1938–).
