Riassunto

This book presents amazing quality French Impressionist art held in Japanese collections, and includes some of the major works of the Impressionist movement. At the end of the 19th century Japanese collectors began to put together Impressionist collections of outstanding quality. In
the first half of the 20th century the most important Japanese
collector was the industrialist Kojiro Matsukata, who was a close
friend of Claude Monet. Today there are several distinguished
collections that are shown in renowned public and private
museums. A selection of exquisite works from these Japanese
museums now returns exclusively to Europe. At the heart
of the exhibition and the book are masterpieces by French
Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, among them
Monet, Manet, Cézanne, Gauguin, Bonnard, Pissarro, Renoir,
Signac, Sisley, and van Gogh. Their paintings are complemented
by a selection of works by Japanese artists from the period
before 1920 that laid the foundation for modern, Westerninspired
Japanese art. Together, they tell the story of the
interaction and two-way artistic influence between Europe and
Japan from a new perspective.
