Awash in Color: French and Japanese Prints Chelsea Foxwell
About the Item
Awash in Color: French and Japanese Prints by Chelsea Foxwell. University of Chicago, David and Alfred Smart Museum, 2012. First edition softcover catalog. When Japan opened to the West in 1854, the prints known as ukiyo-e (“images of the floating world”) they fascinated and delighted European audiences, especially in France where the term Japonisme was coined to describe the influence of this art form. Yet this familiar narrative emphasizes the impact of one artistic culture upon another, ignoring the fact that both Japan and France had flourishing traditions of color printmaking before the opening of Japan. Awash in Color, is an exhibition organized by the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, presents a new perspective on color printmaking and print technologies in both cultures, beginning well before 1854. In this exhibit catalog, the authors put forth an ambitious parallel history with more than 100 exquisite color prints and wood-block-printed books that trace the evolution of color printing technologies from the early 18th century through the explosion of color print techniques in the mid to late 19th century, and finally to the 20th century “return” of woodblock printing as seen in aesthetic movements such as European Art Deco.
Distinguished contributors span a wide range of fields and provide insight and context for the work within Japanese and French art history, as well as the study of printmaking. A beautiful companion to an important exhibit, this book is essential reading for scholars of Japanese and European art.
