Ayako Ono

Japonisme in Britain

Whistler, Menpes, Henry, Hornel and nineteenth-century Japan

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hornel visited Japan and responded to Japanese photography mass-produced for foreign market. Just at the time Europe started to find inspiration in Japanese art, European civilization surged into Japan. The opening of Japan was a process of major political, economic and social change that took place rapidly after the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1854. Learning Western art was considered part of the modernization of Japan, which eventually lead to the establishment of new genre, "Yoga," Ono examines this symmetry in this timely volume, to be published in the centenary year of Whistler's death.

---

This richly illustrated work examines Japanese influences on four artists working in Britain: the American James McNeill Whistler, the Australian Mortimer Menpes, and the 'Glasgow boys' George Henry and Edward Atkinson Hornel.
