Overview and Quickfacts
Japonism is a Western art movement that began in the late 19th century as a response to the influx of Japanese art and artifacts that were being brought into Europe. Japonisme, as it was called in France, was characterized by an interest in Japanese aesthetics and an appreciation for the simplicity and elegance of Japanese art and design. During the Meiji period in Japan (1868-1912), there was a dramatic increase in Western trade and influence, which led to a corresponding increase in the importation of Western goods into Japan. This included a wide variety of art objects, including painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Many of these objects found their way into the hands of European collectors and artists, who were fascinated by the unfamiliar aesthetics of Japanese art. Japonism had a profound impact on Western art, particularly in the areas of painting and design. Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir were deeply influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, and used them as sources of inspiration for their own work. In the field of design, Japonisme was a major force behind the Art Nouveau movement. Today, the influence of Japonism can still be seen in many areas of Western art and design.
