Book Reviews of Japonisme: The Japanese Influence on Western Art Since 1858
Book Review: Beauttiful, irresistable (and the Asian art shows up the European)
Summary: 5 Stars
The collection of images here is a sensuous synthesis of art and design. Elegant, decorative, poetic, stylized . . . Asian art (not just Japanese art) is shown to be a source and inspiration of much 19th & 20th century European tradition, but especially, Asian art is shown, period. Paintings, screens, textiles, prints, carvings, ceramics . . .this is a treasure trove. The question I have about it is the implied (well, maybe overt) focus on the west, through the presentation of Asian images largely in the context of their sometimes too derivative European emulations. Maybe it should be the other way around. But never mind. The comparisons are fascinating, the art is lyrical, and whether it's Hiroshige or van Gogh, Japanese textiles or Art Nouveau, pattern or painting, you can't stop turning the pages. A fantastic resource for designers.
