Common Features of the Collections
The Ishibashi Foundation collection was started with works gathered by Bridgestone founder Shojiro Ishibashi, while works owned by the art dealer and collector Paul Guillaume occupy a significant place in the Musée de L’Orangerie. The two collectors shared a passion to contribute to the world of art by offering magnificent works widely to the general public.First Overseas Exhibition of “A Gift of the Sea”
A total of 76 works from the Bridgestone Museum will be shown, ranging from impressionist to post-war abstract paintings. They include modern Western-style paintings by Japanese artists such as Aoki Shigeru’s A Gift of the Sea, traveling overseas for the first time, and Black Fan by Takeji Fujishima who studied in France.
