From Arts Educator Ruby Ming comes a lively talk about the 19th century craze for all things Japanese. “Art Mash-ups – Japan and the Impressionists” will tour you up, down and all around the inspiration that European and American artists found in Japanese patterns, design and graphics.
Enjoy this image-rich presentation as you explore the Impressionists’ fascination with all things Japanese and how western paintings, prints, clothing, jewelry, dishes, and furniture were all enlivened by this cross-cultural exchange.
