Dufy Exhibition: Explore the World of Color and Light at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum
The "Dufy Exhibition" opens in Spring 2027 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Raoul Dufy's birth. Featuring works from the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, it explores the artist's "color and light" mastery, including a key painting for his monumental fresco.
An exhibition dedicated to Raoul Dufy (1877-1953), a leading French painter of the 20th century renowned for his "color and light," will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Dufy's birth, this exhibition showcases the full scope of his artistic achievements, featuring a rich collection primarily from the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris. Dufy's work extended beyond canvases to textiles, costume design, ceramics, tapestries, and furniture, revealing his multifaceted talent.
A highlight not to be missed is the 1/10 scale original painting (6 meters wide) for the monumental fresco "The Spirit of Electricity," created for the 1937 Paris International Exposition.
Immerse yourself in Dufy's vibrant and cheerful world, which will illuminate Tokyo's Ueno district in the spring of 2027.
