Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and the Influence of Japanese Art in France
When Western–Japanese trade resumed in 1853, Europe was flooded with imported decorative and fine art objects that would greatly influence the aesthetics of French art 7 and design. Art Institute of Chicago curator Andrea Morgan will explore the impact of Japanese fashion, culture, and art, especially woodblock prints, on Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters and their works.
