japonisme and impressionism |
|
|
| Unbeknownst to many fans and admirers of Impressionist art is the fact that many of the underlying principles of it lie in the wave of Japonisme that swept the world in the mid-nineteenth century. Absorbing these techniques from the Japanese allowed the Impressionists to expand and divert away from the classical painters. Japanese wood block prints were imitated and the stringent French art scene was able to enjoy its first taste of globalization via the magnificent works some of the world's most renowned artists were able to produce thanks to the inspiration of the Japanese culture. |
