I this passage, I will turn the spotlight on the enchantments of the Japanese taste in Claude Monet’s art. I choose Monet not because he is prominent and well-known in the art history, but because he is a huge fan of Japanese art and culture as he often includes Japanese products as props and emulate Japanese tune of nature expression in paintings. [1] [2] As a Painter who Depict Japanese Culture https://yynesqaq.blogspot.my/2016/11/did-claude-monet-lend-japanese-glamour.html 2/12 14/11/2017 Did Claude Monet Lend Japanese Glamour to Impressionism?

La Japonaise (Camille Monet in Japanese Costume), 1876, Oil on canvas, 231.8 x 142.3 cm (91 1/4 x 56 in.). Lorna and Robert Rosenberg Gallery (Gallery 252), Boston. [http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/la-japonaise- camille-monet-in-japanese-costume-33556] "In this painting, Monet makes reference to the Japanism which was in vogue during the 1860s, and not only in artist circles...Like many of his fellow artists, Monet also had a collection of Japanese kimonos, fans, and screens, which can still be seen and admired in his house in Giverny today. " ----- Sagner-Duchting, K. (1992). The Claude Monet poster book. [3] La Japonaise (Camille Monet in Japanese Costume), probably is one of the most illustrious paintings representing the Western fad for Japonisme. The charming lady in this painting, Monet’s wife, Camille dressed in a splendid cerise kimono with gorgeous and complex flower patterns embroidery, surrounding with a lot of Japanese fans. Composing with large-scale figure painting, “Monet created a virtuoso display of brilliant color that is also a witty comment on the current Paris fad for all things Japanese” [4] According to the art statement in the Museum of Fine Arts, this painting intends to recall the sense of French identity in the community. Camille, with white race are wearing a blond wig but contrast with her Japanese dressing and fans, her act was ironically similar to the Western craze for Japanese features in that time. This interpreted explanation can be still regarded as positive since Monet resonated the social culture at that time.

Nonetheless, it bears eloquent witness to the fascination which the exotic held for Monet and his contemporaries." ---- Sagner-Duchting, K. (1992). The Claude Monet poster book. [3] But some were given negative comments as well as criticisms. Referring to Dieter Wanczura, the Japanese print specialist, Monet later referred to this painting as “a heap of trash.” [6] Marius Chaumelin, an art critic described the “‘grotesque Japanese’ as making ‘impotent effort’ to disengage himself (Monet) from the robe while the model smilingly mocks his struggles.” Notwithstanding it sounds extreme, it is still reasonable to portray the bubble relationship. La Japonaise painted five years after Monet couple’s marriage while Monet depicted his wife being a Japanese geisha or courtesan ---- the whole image is frivolous and flirtatious. Up to this moment, experts fail to decode the symbolic meanings and implied message behind: some declared that is only a sarcastic joke echoed social phenomenon; but some suggested that is an embarrassing personal predicament and secret expression. Still, La Japonaise is an unsolved mystery. [6] As a Collector who Taste for Japanese Art [https://4.bp.blogspot.com/- hCnWW109aJI/WBhv2289FKI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/CXA7EVrnrcI-BnBjvPCfuWkSwudz5ybTACLcB/s1600/1.jpg] https://yynesqaq.blogspot.my/2016/11/did-claude-monet-lend-japanese-glamour.html 6/12 14/11/2017 Did Claude Monet Lend Japanese Glamour to Impressionism? "If you absolutely must find an affiliation for me, select the Japanese of old times...their aesthetic...evokes a presence by means of shadow and the whole by means of a fragment." ---- Claude Monet, 1909 [3] Nevertheless Monet’s painting, La Japonaise is questionable and contentious to the features of Japanese culture, the fact of the matter is that he kept supplementing his Japanese art collection. Total of 231 prints are collected from 36 artists, but mainly focus on Hokusai, Hioshige and Utamaro. [7] Monet preferred and appreciated the theme of landscapes, daily occupations and animals, yet rebuffed some common objects printed in Japanese xylography such as erotic scenes and portraits of actors. Some may argue that appreciation unequal to inspiration as Monet’s friend, Octave Mirbeau stated “Monet never made any Japonism”. However, I believe his aesthetics on art collection can be projected on the subjects he drawn, the style he painted, the characteristics in his art. For instance, the silence and calmness of the snow as well as those delicate colors of Sandviken Village in the Snow are similar to Japanese print ---- “Though the work attests to the vogue for all things Japanese, we can see why Monet dismissed it later as simply ‘a whim,’ with his other works showing an assimilation of Japanese aesthetic practices at a deeper level.” [8] Perhaps subconsciously, Monet gained inspirations from Japanese Art as he was surrounded by ‘Japanaholic’ society and his Japanese collections. https://yynesqaq.blogspot.my/2016/11/did-claude-monet-lend-japanese-glamour.html 7/12 14/11/2017 Did Claude Monet Lend Japanese Glamour to Impressionism?

In fact, the Japanese artist, Hokusai (his artworks are the targets of Monet’s collections) inspired Monet to paint water lilies beautifully, “Hokusai’s Japanese flower concentration may have been a factor in Monet’s realization that his water lilies would be a fantastic subject for a painting. Hokusai’s flowers did not need landscape as background to make them beautiful. Monet would blend this with his love of the sea to eventually create paintings of only his water lilies and the water.” [5] https://yynesqaq.blogspot.my/2016/11/did-claude-monet-lend-japanese-glamour.html 10/12 14/11/2017 Did Claude Monet Lend Japanese Glamour to Impressionism?

There are various accounts about how crammed the Salon de Paris was or how boring, but none of them can quite encompass the head-to-toe art lining the walls or the ladies and their fans. This simple engraving brought an event that was hated by some and adored by others to life in my head.

They believed that Caillebotte, who was the creator of this exhibition, was not actually an Impressionist. His work was some of the ones with less visible brush strokes and more defined lines.

  • It Was Oscar Wilde Who First Observed, As Early As 1891, That Japan, for The
    In Pursuit of Universalism by Alicia Volk ONE REVERSE JAPONISME AND THE STRUCTURE OF MODERN ART IN JAPAN It was Oscar Wilde who first observed, as early as 1891, that Japan, for the West, was a mere invention, a purely aesthetic fancy.1 Yet the Orientalization of Japan has also been enacted within. Modern art history lies at the center of this process. As Karatani Kōjin has argued, “ ‘Japan’ as an aestheticized object was predominantly formed in visual art, in particular by its own discursive practices.”2 The post-Enlightenment West consti- tuted itself in opposition to its “primitive” Other, as manifested in, for example, Afri- can sculpture and Asian painting. But the internalization of this same dialectic in Ja- pan, coupled with a successful program of modernization based on the European model, resulted in a complex and unstable condition whereby the native Self, conceived in opposition to its Western Other, became at the same time Other to itself. By the time the country defeated Russia in war in the first decade of the twentieth century, the Japanese people had experienced a nearly half-century-long process of defining them- selves against the foreign and the native. Japan found its own idealized “primitive” (gen- shi), antithetical to the modern present—an appropriation of Western Orientalist discourse—in the native (East Asian) past.3 Modern art and modernism as they devel- oped in Japan were shaped by these distinct problematics of Japanese modernity. In this context it becomes possible to conceive the dialectic of Japan’s modern iden- tity formation as a kind of reverse Japonisme, and of Japanese modern art’s structure and systems as having been fashioned by that dynamic.

  • Un Rêve Français À La Lumière De L'art Japonais Pendant Le 19Ème
    Un Rêve Français à la Lumière de l’Art Japonais Pendant le 19ème Siècle au début du 20ème siècle. By : Brendon J. Page Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of Global Languages and Culture (French) Hood College April 2019 L’introduction du Japon et la France ; Une Vue Générale Aujourd’hui, le Japon est l’un des pays les plus influents du monde. Que cela soit dans la technologie ou la nourriture, il n’y a aucun doute que notre société ait vu l’influence du Japon. Je pense que si je devais décrire le Japon, en un mot, j’utiliserais est le mot « l’innovation ». Pendant des siècles, le Japon a adopté les techniques de cuisson des autres pays, les techniques artistiques, la nourriture, la culture, le mode de vie, et aussi leur a ajouté une marque qui est unique au Japon seulement. Cette manière d’adopter des styles et des techniques montre qu’ils n’étaient pas complètement originaux, mais la façon dont le Japon a créé sa signature sur cette terre, et son adaptation est évident à ce jour. Particulièrement, le style célèbre d’art, l’art japonais. L’influence de l’art japonais dans la communauté artistiques a été évident pendant les siècles, et beaucoup d’artistes en France ont été lourdement influencés par les modelés répétitifs, les couleurs, et la manière dont l’espace vide a été parfaitement utilisé dans beaucoup de tableaux japonais. Dans cette thèse, je discuterai comment l’art japonais au 19ème siècle a influencé l’art français pendent les 19ème et 20èmes siècles.

The painting demonstrates the Impressionists’ well-known interest in depicting nature and the effects of weather and light, seen here in the expanse of white clouds in blue sky and the reflections in the rippling surface of the river. Highly textured dark green bushes and grass are built up with visible brushstrokes and anchor the painting’s composition on left and right. The subject of the painting, however, is not a timeless rural scene (these were popular with the public — see, for example, this painting by Corot), but an aggressively modern one of a railroad bridge with a train heading over the river. The bridge was rebuilt at the beginning of the decade after its predecessor was destroyed in the Franco-Prussian war, and its parts were forged at the local ironworks.
