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