ART & COMEDY ORSAY NABIS A partnership with the Musée d'Orsay brings the works of late 19th century Post-Impressionist, avant-garde collective Les Nabis to Tokyo. Meeting at Académie Julian, the group of artists paved the way for 20th century abstract and nonrepresentational art. Breakouts of the group included Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard and Maurice Denis, although more than 20 artists made up the collective. Works by influencers, such as Paul Gauguin, will also be displayed. Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum Until May 21 mimt.jp/nabis Paul Gauguin, Self-Portrait with “The Yellow Christ,” 1889–90, Musée d’Orsay, Paris THE ART WORLD OUR PICK OF THE CITY’S BEST EXHIBITIONS Compiled by Luca Eandi MATISSE ET ROUAULT Henri Matisse, Still Life, 1896 Painters Henri Matisse and Georges Rouault met at art school, when they both attended the École des Beaux-Arts. This exhibition displays correspondence between the two spanning 50 years, and the artwork that accompanied it. Although stylistically different, it is apparent from the letters how they influenced each other over time. Important early works by Matisse will be displayed, such as The Bottle of Schiedam, as well as Rouault's oil-color plates for "Divertissement."

Tiziano, ca.1515, Oil on canvas, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence © Gabinetto Fotografico del Polo Museale Regionali della Toscana C COMEDY Three comedy nights to keep you laughing all month long JIMMY CARR One of the most prolific joke-tellers of recent times, Jimmy Carr embarked on a mammoth world tour earlier this year that features a selection of his very best jokes along with brand new material. His deadpan delivery coupled with plenty of dark humor has made him a perfect host for several of Britain’s top panel shows, and Carr brings equal amounts of charm and edge to his stand-up. February 27, Yamano Hall Gabriella Mangano & Silvana Mangano “There is no there,” 2015 / Single-channel video / Collection of the artist / Courtesy of Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne TITIAN AND THE RENAISSANCE IN VENICE When it comes to Venetian Renaissance art, one prolific painter perhaps embodies it more than others – Tiziano Vecellio, also known as Titian. The 15th/16th century painter worked steadily on commissions from monarchs and popes alike throughout his fruitful life. His brilliant colors, free and vibrant brushwork and use of softly diffused light became a calling card and influenced generations to come. On top of dozens of Titian's works, this exhibition includes influential works by Bellini and Vivarini, as well as later Venetian works by Veronese and others. Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum Until April 2 titian2017.jp/english YEBISU INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL FOR ART & ALTERNATIVE VISIONS 2017 Better known as Yebizo, this renowned festival will take place at the renovated Tokyo Photographic Art Museum in Ebisu. The theme for this year’s festival is “Multiple Future” and the art promises to explore this concept by employing duplicative techniques and marrying variant elements. Participants for 2017 include artist Yasuko Toyoshima, videographer Fiona Tan, American filmmaker Nancy Kates, and Academy Award–winning Polish director Zbigniew Rybczyński. Tokyo Photographic Arts Museum Until February 26 www.yebizo.com EDDIE IZZARD In bringing his latest stand-up show, “Force Majeure,” to Tokyo for the first time ever, Eddie Izzard is closing in on having toured 30 different countries. This extensive tour is no match for Izzard’s energetic stream-ofconsciousness style of comedy, which often leads him to speak in multiple languages, even ones he claims not to know. Equally at home on stage and on screen, Izzard is a master storyteller and a fearless entertainer. February 25, Tokyo Comedy Store PERFECT LIARS CLUB Perfect Liars Club is a comedy storytelling/ interrogation show that started in Washington DC in 2013. The point of the game is to spot the liar. For the first part of the show, four people tell funny stories, three are real, one is not. In the second part, the audience asks questions of the performers, looking for holes in their stories. In the last segment, the audience votes on who’s lying and sees if they’re right. All in all, a fun way to spend an evening and sharpen your wits.
