About
After Japan opened its doors to Europe and America in 1854 the west's art scene was greatly influenced by the art of Japan. European artists had the opportunity to explore the work of Japanese masters of paintings and woodcuts. This lecture by Susan Kay-Williams shows how western artists from Monet, Van Gogh to Walter Crane were influenced by the works they saw from Japan and how they developed their own work as a response. Japanese artists also visited the west at the international exhibitions in London, Paris and Philadelphia to show their work and were influenced by western artists.
