It is often said that it is difficult to understand what is depicted in 20th century art. But is that really the case?
The 20th century, which experienced major wars in succession and is also known as the "century of refugees," was a time when many artists were forced to leave the lands they were used to living in and emigrate. In particular, artists who traveled to the United States pioneered new forms of expression, such as abstract expressionism, pop art, and minimal art, by promoting abstract expressionism. At the same time, the loneliness and alienation they felt in a foreign land continued to smolder deep questions that could not be easily answered, such as who they were and what art is.
This was spurred on by the capitalist society of mass production and mass consumption. For example, after the sudden death of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, Warhol often created works with her as the subject, but we must not ignore the inner conflict of the great actress engraved in her death. The self that we really want to be, and the self that is forced to play the role of a seductive woman for the sake of a consumer society. Perhaps a similar conflict led Warhol to utter these not-so-simple words: "If you want to know everything about Andy Warhol... just look at the surface. That's where I am. There's nothing behind."
Don't overthink it, start by taking a good look at the "surface." Enjoy the various "surfaces" with your eyes and heart, featuring 39 pieces of 20th century art from the Ohara Museum of Art (originally planned to be 35 pieces) and the Yakushi Nyorai standing statue (special exhibit) from our museum's collection.

Osaka Castle Tianshou Pavilion is good, mainly introducing the history of Osaka City and the story of Toyoson Sugiyoshi. The new Tianshou Pavilion was rebuilt in 1931. Even the rebuilt building is relatively old. The observation deck on the top floor can also overlook the panoramic view of Osaka.

Title: 🌸 Japan trip 🌸, a romantic trip to pursue cherry blossoms and hot springs 💖 body: dear friends, 👋 I just came back from Japan, this trip made me feel the unique charm and rich culture of Japan. 🌸 First of all, I want to share my travel route and attraction options. 📝 I chose Tokyo, Kyoto and Hokkaido as my travel destinations, which gave me a taste of the customs and beauty of the four seasons of Japan. 🌸 In Tokyo, I went to Shinjuku, Shibuya and Sensoji Temple and felt the prosperity and vitality of the city. 👯&zwj;♀️ In Kyoto, I visited Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple and Nijo Castle, and experienced the charm and tranquility of the ancient Japanese capital. 🕰️ In Hokkaido, I visited the lavender fields of Furano, the beautiful patchwork road and the canal of Otaru, as if entering a fairy tale world. ❄️ In addition to these famous attractions, I also tasted many Japanese specialties such as sushi, ramen and tempura. 🍣 These foods made me feel good and made me better understand Japanese culture and history. I also made friends with travelers from different countries, and we shared travel experiences, photographed and spent many memorable times together. 👫 In short, this trip to Japan has made me gain a lot of good memories and feelings, and it has also made me love this diverse world more. 🌍 If you also want to experience a romantic trip to pursue cherry blossoms and hot springs, you may as well go to Japan to see, I believe you will fall in love with it! 💖#Japan Tour#Travel Diary#Sakura Season#Hot Spring Tour#Cultural Exploration

It is a very long-standing shopping street and is a great place to explore the culture of the people in Osaka, Japan. The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgia, a wide range of goods, a variety of specialty shops, and a very exaggerated signboard, which can take many good photos. It is also a concentration of fried skewers, and you can feel the locals&#39; eating and gathering habits.
