This year, 2024, marks the 150 anniversary of the First Impressionist Exhibition, held in Paris in 1874. At the Pola Museum of Art (located in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture; director: Noguchi Hiroko), we are currently presenting Western Painting – French Painting from Impressionism to the Early 20th Century, an exhibition drawn from the museum collection, which consists of 16 masterpieces, with a special focus on five works by Monet, and traces the vicissitudes of French painting from the Impressionists to subsequent developments.

Among the artists who participated in the First Impressionist Exhibition, held in Paris in 1874, were Edouard Manet, Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, and Camille Pissarro. This collection exhibition assembles important works by these artists all in one place.

Among the works on display are five by Monet, ranging from La Promenade (1875) to Water Lilies (1907).  These works enable viewers to trace stylistic changes across the career of Claude Monet, an artist who created numerous works distinguished by their bright colors and captured light with his nimble brushstrokes. 

In the center of Gallery 3, one of the exhibition spaces, there is a large bench that enables visitors to quietly gaze at and appreciate their favorite works. Why not treat yourself to a relaxing and luxurious time surrounded by these masterpieces of art?

Note: Renoir's Girl in a Lace Hat and La Coiffure are on view in Gallery 3 along with the Léonard Foujita: The Secret of Milky-White Skin exhibition.

On view simultaneously: Léonard Foujita: The Secret of Milky-White Skin

The Pola Museum of Art Collection is proud to include a number of works by Léonard Foujita (Fujita Tsuguharu), one of Japan's greatest painters. Foujita's depiction of "milky-white skin," the apex of his unique style, was all the rage among art lovers in Paris (the "City of Art") in the 1920s. This exhibition examines how Foujita developed the approach in relation to his objectives and his artistic techniques.
