Albert Marquet: A Retrospective

An exhibition to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Albert Marquet (1875–1947), a major figure in twentieth-century French painting.

Marquet worked alongside Henri Matisse and other artists as part of the Fauvist movement, and later traveled widely in France and abroad. Throughout his career, he continued to paint everyday scenes of rivers and waterfronts, including the Seine and various ports, with a calm and poetic sensibility.This exhibition marks Marquet’s first solo show in Japan in 35 years.

The exhibition at Hiroshima Museum of Art features approximately 90 works—oil paintings, pastels, and drawings—borrowed from leading museums in Japan and France as well as private collections. It introduces the development of Marquet’s style and the distinctive appeal of his work from multiple perspectives.
