The art deco style emerged about one hundred years ago, around the same time that Koide Narashige was active exploring oil painting as a Japanese artist. 󠄀This autumn, these two forms of beauty from a century ago vie for the spotlight at Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka.

During the first week of the exhibitions The Venus of a New Age! Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Art Deco and Koide Narashige: In Pursuit of Oil Painting for the Japanese at Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, the first thirty visitors coming to the shows each day will receive a special gift. 󠄀
