EXHIBITION OVERVIEW

Held to commemorate the third anniversary of the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum, the special exhibition, “The Life, People and Nobles in 18th-Century France,” featured 48 oil and watercolor paintings and 54 copperplate lithographs created by French artists of that century. The exhibition was based on the two themes of the gentry and the people, and spanned the transition of French art from the rococo to Realism movements. The event was also made possible through the cooperation and support of French art critic and TFAM honorary curator Rene' Huyghe, the government of France and other French agencies.
