Developed in France, Impressionism nurtured many of the same motives and techniques used by French Realists and the Barbizon School of landscape painters. However, perhaps the most significant source of inspiration for Impressionist artists like Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Mary Cassatt were woodblock prints and decorative arts from Japan. Join Kevin R. E. Greenwood, Joan L. Danforth Curator of Asian Art, and Marlise Brown, Associate Curator of European and American Art, for a gallery talk on the Japanese Pavillion at Paris’s Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) of 1867 and the lasting impact that Japanese art had on the Impressionist movement.
