Works by Picasso and Rouault from the collection of Yasuo Kouzuki are on view!

Yasuo Kazuki was born in Misumi, Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in 1911. 32 years old, he was drafted into the war and ended up in Hyrule, Manchuria. After the war, he was interned in Siberia by the Soviet Army, and did not return to Japan until two years after the war ended. After returning to Japan, he continued his creative activities in his hometown of Misumi, and in March 1974 (Showa 49), he passed away after 62 years of life. Yasuo Kouzuki's works were carefully preserved by his bereaved family after his death. The Yasuo Kagetsu Museum of Art opened in 1993 (Heisei 5) with the donation of approximately 450 of those works. On February 12, 2015, the bereaved family newly donated more than 300 oil paintings and 2,000 drawings and other materials. This exhibition features paintings that have been carefully stored by the Kagetsu family for more than 40 years and are being displayed for the first time at the museum, as well as materials related to Kagetsu's work, materials related to his production, and works by foreign artists such as Picasso's that were collected by Kagetsu. Please enjoy the new world of Yasuo Kagetsu.201660604-0926_Kazuki Yasuo Art Museum special exhibition 201660604-0926_Kazuki Yasuo Museum of Art Special Exhibition
