Just as a symphony is composed of many notes, visual artworks show varied expressions by assembling different elements. This exhibition looks at artworks from the point of view of “assembling.” Paintings and sculptures created by integrating colors and motifs, fiber art produced by assembling fiber materials, etc. are introduced. In addition to exhibits from the museum collection, two fiber artists are invited to display a variety of works.

Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a leading Spanish master of the twentieth century. Adamant about the natural features of his native Catalonia, he sought inspiration in the earth, and converted the sun, moon, stars, birds, etc. into uniquely abstract elements to create a poetic, cosmic world. This exhibition focuses on his prints. Miró undertook printmaking seriously from age 35 and produced more than 2,500 works during his lifetime. Through approximately 150 works dating from his early years to late in life, the world of prints by Miró joined to the riches of nature is introduced.
