Monet's London

In this beautifully illustrated book, John House discusses the career and painting techniques of one of the greatest Impressionist painters, providing the fullest account ever written of Monet’s working practices and the ways in which they evolved. In so doing House throws much new light on issues central to the understanding of French Impressionist painting as a whole.

Die Kunst der Meiji-Zeit. Die Khalili-Sammlung

Der Japonismus und die Geburt der Moderne

Gregory Irvine

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 (18681912) 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.
