Uittreksel

"The newest catalogue, Masterpieces from the Nezu Collection, New Edition, will consist of twelve volumes, organized by field. The information in it will reflect recent research and will be presented in a straightforward, accessible manner. Since our concept is that the content of these volumes will be made available to the world as a digital archive, all the descriptions of works will be translated into English, another distinctive feature of this catalogue. This first volume has been timed to be available for the Special Exhibition Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Founding of the Nezu Museum: National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties in the Nezu Collection. It presents the ninety-five works in the collection that have received those national designations, including Suzuki Kiitsu's Mountain Streams in Summer and Autumn, which was newly designated an Important Cultural Property earlier this year. This volume, presenting a group of significant works that exemplify the Nezu Museum collection, truly offers a selection of masterpieces"-- Preface, Kōichi Nezu (page [e-3]).
