Fear in Painting

Based on a bestselling book by Kyoko Nakano, a scholar of German literature and an art historian, this travelling exhibition heads to Ueno in October. Perfect for those dark and rainy autumn days, it focuses on some of the scariest paintings in the history of Western art: 80 pieces by mostly Victorian-era artists including pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse and illustrator Aubrey Beardsley.
