Japonism. History of a plagiarism? Academic painting is running out of steam, non-rational philosophies are running wild… European arts are caught in a trap, aged, sclerotic, some will say firefighters. Fortunately, European genius has been able to renew itself… certainly, but on condition of recognizing its main source: the arts of Japan, absolute negation of its entire academic tradition. We will see in detail how after having forced the Japan of the Shoguns to open up, Europe imports their artifacts en masse and assimilates their motifs and structures, and this through a parallel study of the arts of Japan with European paintings, furniture, fabrics and jewelry.
