Marcel Bachet "Portrait of Claude Debussy"
I only knew that Debussy was a French composer and impressionist, but this year was just the 150th anniversary of his birth, and an exhibition was held at the Bridgestone Museum of Art entitled "Between Debussy, Music and Art impressionist and Symbolism."
This is a joint project with the Orsay Museum in Paris and the Orlangely Museum of Art.
As Debussy said, "I like painting as much as music," it was a very discoverable exhibition that clearly shows that he loved paintings (especially impressionist paintings and Japanese ukiyoe paintings), inspired by them and made songs.
Many paintings by famous painters such as Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Degas and Renoir are also on display.
What was particularly interesting was the photograph taken at Debussy's house, with Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji Kanagawa Offshore"
hanging on the wall behind him and Stravinsky.
The influence of Japonisme was also explained in a space.
This exhibition will be held until October 14th (Sun).
