This scholarly work examines how Japonisme, the fascination with Japanese culture and art forms, permeated Czech artistic circles and contributed to the development of modern Czech art. Hánová meticulously analyzes the integration of Japanese motifs and techniques in the works of Czech painters, printmakers, and decorative artists, illustrating how these elements were adapted to create a unique fusion of styles. The book highlights key figures and movements in Czech art that were particularly impacted by Japanese aesthetics, such as the symbolists and the secessionists. Through a rich collection of illustrations and in-depth commentary, Hánová's study not only sheds light on this cross-cultural artistic exchange but also contributes to the understanding of the broader phenomenon of Japonisme in European art. ; 34 x 25 x 3 cms; 270 pages.
