From the 1860s through to the early 20th century the rise of
Japonisme and the Art Nouveau movement meant that few could ignore or resist
the obsession with all things Japanese. Superbly crafted and often highly
decorated Japanese objects lacquer, metalwork, ceramics, enamels and other
decorative items excited, stimulated and inspired Western artists and craftsmen
to produce their own works. Arts of the Meiji period (1868 to 1912) were
displayed at international exhibitions, galleries of influential dealers and at
fashionable stores in London, Paris and Vienna. This book includes many
examples of the superlatively designed and executed decorative arts of the
Meiji periods from the Khalili Collection, the greatest collection of Meiji
period art in the world. Artists such as Van Gogh, Whistler, Monet, Manet,
Klimt and Schiele were all, to varying degrees, influenced by the arts of
Japan. Van Gogh said that he owed his inspiration to Japanese art, but even he
was probably not aware of just how much art in Europe had already been greatly
influenced by that of Japan.
