The Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art is hosting the retrospective exhibition "Hiroshi Nakamura Exhibition: Beyond Anachronism" until March 15, honoring the artist Hiroshi Nakamura, who passed away in January at the age of 93. Nakamura, born in 1932, gained recognition as a "reportage painter" for works based on sketches from the anti-US base expansion movement. From the late 1950s, he merged social themes with avant-garde expression by applying Sergei Eisenstein's montage theory. Throughout his career, he consistently pursued the possibilities of figurative painting using motifs from his childhood memories and developing unique methodologies like "Tableau Machine" and "Picture Chain." The exhibition is divided into five chapters, reviewing his artistic career through his major works.
