Japonisme and the Rise of the Modern Art Movement by Gregory Irvine

Japonisme and the Rise of the Modern Art Movement by Gregory Irvine

Artists from van Gogh, Whistler, Monet, and Edouard Manet to Klimt and Schiele were all, to varying degrees, influenced by the Japanese art. Van Gogh himself stated that he owed his inspiration to Japanese art, but he was probably not conscious of the full extent to which art in Europe had already been influenced by that of Japan.

'A persuasive, sumptuous exploration of Japanese influence on western modernism … pairings of paintings by Monet, Manet and Degas with Japanese works, and discussions of gold-adorned Klimt and sexy Schiele, are revelatory' - Financial Times (Books of the Year)
'Invaluable for anyone with an interest in late-19th-century European art and culture' - Country Life
'In-depth essays and superb colour illustrations' - Ceramic Review
'If art books were nominated for annual awards … then 'Japonisme and the Rise of the Modern Art Movement' would definitely be a front-runner in the "most beautiful book category for 2013"' - Art Eyewitness

Gregory Irvine is Senior Curator in the Asian department of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He has published widely on many aspects of Japanese art, and has held senior teaching positions both in the UK and Japan.
