About this ebook:
The book demonstrates the importance of Britain in the early dissemination of Japanese art in the West and analyses British reactions to Japanese art, both theoretical and artistic. This book differs from most others on Japonisme in that it deals with Britain rather than France and is concerned with an early period. It discusses design as well as fine art, gives the first comprehensive account of the debate among Victorian design theorists on Japanese art and utilises a wealth of little-known source material. It also proposes a radically new interpretation of Whistler's Japonisme.

Enjoy the ultimate reading experience. We've made it easy for you to discover and access High Victorian Japonisme (Schweizer Asiatische Studien / Etudes asiatique suisses) by Toshio Watanabe. Perfect for unwinding at home or reading on the go.
