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."
It is said that this is a joint project with the Orsay Museum in Paris and the Orangery Museum.
As Debussy said, “I like painting as much as music,” it was a very discoverable exhibition that he loved paintings (especially impressionist paintings and Japanese ukiyo-e) and inspired them to make songs.
There are many paintings of famous painters such as Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Degas, and Renoir.
What was particularly interesting was the photograph taken at Debussy's residence, where Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji"
hanging on the wall behind him and Stravinsky.
The influence of Japonisme was also explained in space.
This exhibition will be held until October 14th (Sun).
