Japonism

The Western world’s fascination with Japan since 1854 (when her ports were forcibly opened to the rest of the world by the U.S. Navy) has caused almost every major artist up to the end of the last century to adopt the styles, techniques, and ideas of the Japanese. Japanese influences in the works of the first and second generations of Impressionists include van Gogh, Gauguin, the Nabis, and Toulouse-Lautrec.
