About event
Lecture by Alexander Sheremetyev
Three centuries of Japaneseism: how the East changed the art of the West
Lecture on the influence of Japan on European and American art of the 18th-21st centuries
When the first lacquer boxes, porcelain and engravings from Japan began to arrive in Europe, it was not just an exchange of objects - it was a cultural explosion. Over the course of three centuries, Japanese aesthetics went from being a rare exotic to one of the key drivers of modernism and design of the 20th century.
You will learn:
> how the early fashion for “Japanese things” shaped the taste of European courts of the 18th century;
> why ukiyo-e became the visual manifesto of modernity;
> how the Japanese principles of emptiness, asymmetry and naturalness changed painting, architecture and fashion;
> how the waves of Japonism - from Whistler, Monet, Van Gogh and Climate to Dior and digital design - determined the direction of art;
> and why today Japonism is not nostalgia, but a living language of global visual culture.
The East did not just inspire the West - it rewrote its visual vocabulary.
