Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo is presenting a small exhibition titled 'Monet and Redon' in its small exhibition room through September 23. The show takes as its point of departure the shared historical moment of Claude Monet and Odilon Redon, bringing their work into view alongside related paintings by other artists in a display of 16 works.
According to the museum’s announcement, the exhibition is timed to two anniversaries: 100 years since Monet’s death and 110 years since Redon’s death. Rather than treating the two artists separately, the presentation focuses on their contemporaneity and the artistic context in which they worked. The museum says the selection includes works by artists connected to them, expanding the frame beyond a simple two-artist comparison.
The exhibition is being shown as a concurrent, small-scale project at Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum. No additional venue is indicated in the source material, and the museum identifies the display as a limited presentation within its small exhibition room. The announcement also groups the project under the heading “Artists Gathering at the ‘Cafe’,” though the source does not provide further curatorial details about that framing.
Monet and Redon occupy different but overlapping positions in late 19th- and early 20th-century art. Monet is closely associated with Impressionism, while Redon is known for work that moved between symbolism, imagination and experimentation with form and color. By pairing them in one exhibition, the museum is highlighting a period of artistic overlap rather than a single movement or school.
The museum’s notice gives the exhibition’s run as August 13 to September 23, with the final day noted as a holiday. The presentation is therefore available for a relatively short period, and the museum encourages visitors not to miss it. The display remains focused on a concise group of 16 works, including related pieces that help situate Monet and Redon in relation to their contemporaries.
Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, located in Tokyo, has announced the exhibition through its official channels. The current presentation continues through September 23 in the museum’s small exhibition room.
