Exhibition

Max Touret
A Hitherto Unknown Master of Post-Impressionism

March 17 (The.) – May 23 (Sat.), 2026

Closed: Sundays and national holidays

This is the first solo exhibition of Max Touret (1872-1963) in Japan. As well as having a brilliant career as an engineer, he was also a superbly talented painter.
Although a few of his works were lost during the German occupation of the port of Honfleur during the Second World War, more than 350 pieces have remained to this day in the possession of his daughters and grandchildren. During his lifetime, Touret did not sell a single piece, instead devoting himself to painting for pleasure.
While Touret did not establish a new style of painting, he was among the artists who rigorously studied and applied theories such as divisionism or pointillism, which briefly influenced his work in the 1920s.
In 2019, the Eugène Boudin Museum in Honfleur, Normandy, acquired five of his works, followed by Les Franciscaines Deauville, but his work had not been publicly exhibited for a long time. It was four years later, in 2023, that the first solo exhibition of his work was held in his native France, at the Musée Eugène Boudin.
This exhibition is a valuable opportunity to view a collection of his works all in one place.
