Japan's conflicted art of World War II
The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art's current exhibition, "1945±5: The Works that Survived through the Turbulent and Reconstruction Era," showcases modern Japanese art five years either side of the pivotal end of World War II. It addresses oil painting and mostly follows a conventional tale of Japan becoming increasingly culturally conservative as its military conflicts deepened with the artistic freedoms that returned after the war. There is enough artistic diversity, however, to suggest that complexities remain uncharted.

The many portraits of an artist as a young, and older, man
As photographer Yasumasa Morimura has predominantly made his name since 1985 in eccentric self-portraiture involving impersonations of famous people, his current exhibition is conceptually and structurally all autobiography. It is a tale serially told through chapters with a beginning, middle-stage developments and a seemingly violent climax — all the bit players he dresses as meet their ends while the main protagonist lives on. Rather than simply fact or fiction, the exhibition is Morimura's imaginative interweaving of the two as his art story of birth, death and what might live on in the aftermath.
