New Eyes: Monet and 21st-Century Art (Monet's Death Centenary and the Museum's 25th Anniversary)
Japanese original:
モネ没後100年・開館25周年記念 あたらしい目 ― モネと21世紀のアート
The Pola Museum of Art in Hakone holds 19 oil paintings by Monet, the largest Monet collection in Asia, running from scenes of the Seine and Gare Saint-Lazare through the London and Venice series to the Water Lilies, and all of them are shown here. Eighteen contemporary artists and groups from Japan and abroad also take part, among them Wolfgang Tillmans, Roni Horn, Pierre Huyghe, and Fujiko Nakaya. Their works are set against Monet's not as an art-historical comparison but as a creative dialogue. On view until 7 April 2027.
Featured in: Beyond Tokyo: Nara, Osaka, Kyoto 2026–27

Impressionism印象派A painting movement that emerged in Paris in the 1870s: painting outdoors, in short strokes of unmixed colour, to catch a passing moment of light and air.Read moreClose
01About
In April 1874 about thirty painters, among them Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas and Morisot, put on their own exhibition in the studio of the photographer Nadar, without the jury of the official Salon. The critic Louis Leroy mocked Monet's Impression, Sunrise in the satirical paper Le Charivari, and the name “Impressionists” stuck; the group exhibited together eight times, until 1886. They painted outdoors to catch the changing effects of sunlight, left short, unblended brushstrokes, and set pure colours side by side with as little mixing as possible, so that they look more vivid to the eye. Japanese prints, through Japonisme, shaped many of their unusual, snapshot-like compositions. After the last group show, Seurat and Signac arranged dots of colour by rule (Pointillism), while Van Gogh and Gauguin turned to emotion and symbol; this generation came to be called Post-Impressionist, a name the critic Roger Fry spread with his 1910 London exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists.

Stand close and look at the separate strokes of colour, then take a few steps back: where do the colours blend into another colour in your eye, and when do the water, the sky or the figures appear?

The Impressionists painted outdoors, chasing the light as it changed through the day.
