The 50th Year of the Sompo Museum of Art
150th Anniversary of the Birth of Albert Marquet (tentative)
2026.09.22(Tue)- 12.13(Sun)
Introducing the exhibition
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of French modernist master Albert Marquet (1875–1947), the Sompo Museum of Art will present the first large-scale retrospective of his work in Japan in 35 years. Featuring approximately 100 works—including around 60 paintings and 20 drawings and pastels—this exhibition brings together highlights from major public collections in both Japan and France. Tracing Marquet’s artistic journey from his early Fauvist period to his serene depictions of port towns along the Seine and the Mediterranean, the exhibition offers a comprehensive look at his evolving style and enduring appeal. In recent years, Marquet’s oeuvre has been the subject of renewed interest in France, and this exhibition provides a timely opportunity to reexamine his legacy from multiple perspectives.
