This intimate exhibition of paintings at Wrightwood 639 in Lincoln Park, Chicago, explores the depiction of the urbane “modern girl” (modan gāru or moga), which captivated public imagination in 1920s Japan and challenged the traditional, state-sanctioned ideal of the “good wife, wise mother.” Indeed, the ideal role of women in Japanese society was not one-dimensional, and continued to diversify during the 1930s. Moga: Modern Women and Daughters in 1930s Japan brings traditional subjects, including domestic scenes representing mothers and daughters, back into the conversation about the moga by exhibiting them beside other, more popular imagery of the “modern girl.”
