From Renoir to Monet and Gauguin – French Impressionism was not only appreciated by Western collectors in the early 20th century, but also found early admirers in Japan. In 2022, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the Folkwang Museum will present the great collection of post-impressionist work of Karl Ernst Osthaus (1874–1921). The museum's collection will be complemented by important Impressionist works from the Kojiro Matsukata Collection (1865–1950), which formed the basis for the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo. This is the first time this collection will be presented in its entirety outside Japan since the 1950s. The catalog includes a unique composition of approximately 120 works and introduces two important collectors. The timeless collection history is combined with contemporary masterpiece creations. It includes paintings, drawings, and sculptures by artists such as Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Auguste Rodin, among others, as well as a new installation by Tabaimo and Chiharu Shiota and a selection of East Asian works from the former collections of Matsukata and Osthaus. Accompanied by a short story by Japanese bestselling author Sayaka Murata.
