The influence of Japanese Woodcut on Western Art
When Japan's borders were opened to the West in 1868 there was a huge surge of interest in all things Japanese in the West, particularly in Paris. Prints were collected avidly by the leading Impressionist painters of the day who 'borrowed' wholesale from their compositions. This lecture explores how Japan revolutionised Western art and how a new wave of artists today have brought a deeper understanding into Contemporary Art.
