Synopsis

Edgar Degas and Vincent Van Gogh have been described as important contributors to the foundations of modern art. But what exactly were these artists influenced by, and how did they break away from the academies and salons which controlled artistic production in nineteenth century France? To help answer these questions this book takes a look at the socio-cultural changes occurring at that time and pinpoints in particular the arrival of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints on the French art market. It will appeal to art students, art teachers and anyone seeking to extend their understanding of the influence of Japanese art on the growth and continuation of the modern art phenomenon.
