<title>Jacques Callot : Theater of Realism and Fantasy</title>
<description><![CDATA[Jacques Callot (1592–1635) was a talented and creative printmaker born in the Duchy of Lorraine, and active at the beginning of the 17th century. Callot spent his youth in Italy and there worked as a printmaker in service to the Medici family. After his return to France in 1621, he received commissions not only from the Lorraine palace and aristocracy, but also from religious clerics and rulers of surrounding countries, developing an active and successful career. More than 1,400 works remain from his short life of just over 40 years. Religious events whose vibrant festivities still resound over the centuries, views of local town, Commedia dell’arte actors and street performers, along with a group of works reflecting the Counter-Reformation trends of the day, others that show the dark shadow of war cast across society, scenes of Italy, Paris, where he visited around 1630, and his home town of Lorraine. Amidst this diverse array of subjects Callot created a unique pictorial realm, one that turned his acute vision on reality that intersected with a rich and vivid imagination. Callot is also recognized as having attained new ground in copperplate etching techniques, after years of trial and error experiments. The prints born from these new techniques at times contrast darkness with vivid brightness, and at other times present a lovely, richly lyrical and gentle linear expression. The surprising depths of these works emerge the longer you look at them. This exhibition is comprised of works chosen from the NMWA collections, and features a thorough introduction to Callot’s works from throughout his life, taking both a temporal and thematic approach.

<title>Voices Calling from the Unusual: Hirano Keiichiro's Selection of Western Art Masterpieces</title>
<description><![CDATA[Since his debut novel in 1998, L’Eclipse, the major young writer Hirano Keiichiro has published several works based on his deep knowledge of Western culture. As well, through the use of letter spacing and margins, he has experimented with the visual elements in his books. This exhibition focuses on Hirano as guest curator, presenting his artistic vision through his selection of works drawn primarily from the NMWA collection.The western art works selected by Hirano, on the theme Voices Calling from the Unusual, are a means of imbuing the exhibition with his personal artistic and visual sensibilities. Works depicting unusual scenes or scenes that speak of a fascination with unusual worlds are displayed alongside Hirano’s own explanations of the pieces, all with the aim of linking the visitor’s gaze with that of his own. Through this selection of art works we hope that visitors will come to a better appreciation of Hirano’s own sensibilities and sense new and fascinating elements in these works.]]></description>
