{"product_id":"japanomania-in-the-nordic-countries-gabriel-p-weisberg-9780300220117","title":"Japanomania in the Nordic Countries, 1875-1918","description":"This extensive publication, complete with hundreds of illustrations by such renowned artists as Carl Larsson, Edvard Munch, Vilhelm Hammersh i, Helene Schjerfbeck, Pekka Halonen, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Gerhard Munthe, Pietro Krohn, and Frida Hansen, among others, offers an unprecedented study of Japanese influence on the visual arts in the Nordic countries. This unlikely diffusion of Japanese culture, known collectively as Japonisme, became increasingly apparent in England, France, and elsewhere in Europe during the 19th century, although nowhere was the influence seemingly as pervasive as it was throughout the Nordic countries. The book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how the widespread interest in Japanese aesthetics helped to establish notions of a fundamental unity between the arts and transformed the region's visual vocabulary. The adoption of Japanese motifs and styles in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark gave a necessary cohesion to their existing artistic language, creating a vital balance within and among all of the decorative arts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for Mercatorfonds \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAteneum Art Museum, Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/18\/16-05\/15\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/16\/16-10\/16\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStatens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (01\/19\/17-04\/23\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel P.
