Artists at the Café

In the late 19th century, many cafés and cabarets sprang up in succession at Montmartre district in Paris. They served not only as places to eat and drink, but also as gathering spots for artists and centers for cultural expression. This exhibition marks the first special exhibition jointly organized by the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo and the Hiroshima Museum of Art. Centered on works from both collections and featuring pieces on loan from museums in Japan and abroad, it explores the interactions among artists from the 19th to the 20th century, the artistic movements born from these exchanges, and their rich achievements.
