Description
In 1902 Chu Asai was appointed a professor in the Faculty of Design course in Kyoto Handicraft High School (now the Kyoto Institute of Technology).
Though he is most well known for his oil paintings, he became interested in Art Nouveau while he was studying in France for two yearstaking advantage of the Paris Exposition of 1900.
His interest in design became stronger after he moved to Kyoto.
This exhibition, which was developed in cooperation with the Kyoto Institute of Technology Museum and Archives has a number of posters which Domoto and his co-workers brought from Paris as lecture material for the design course in the Kyoto Handicraft High School.
Visitors to the exhibition will also be able to see posters from Paris at the turn of the century, which were brilliantly illustrated by Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret.
