western modernism … pairings of paintings by Monet, Manet and Degas
with Japanese works, and discussions of gold-adorned Klimt and sexy
Schiele, are revelatory' - Financial Times (Books of the Year)
'Invaluable for anyone with an interest in late-19th-century
European art and culture' - Country Life
'In-depth essays and superb colour illustrations' - Ceramic
Review
'If art books were nominated for annual awards … then 'Japonisme
and the Rise of the Modern Art Movement' would definitely be a
