The special exhibition, "Nihonga Avant-garde KYOTO 1948-1970," focuses on the pioneering efforts of Kyoto painters who navigated the tension between tradition and innovation in the post-war Nihonga world. The exhibition highlights the trajectory of these spirited artists, primarily associated with three art groups formed after the 1940s: Sōzō Bijutsu, Panreal Art Association, and Kera Art Association.
