‘East meets West’<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThis exhibition highlights the influence of Japanese culture on Europe at the end of the 19th century.<\/strong><\/span>
\nArt dealer, collector and successful entrepreneur Siegfried Bing has had a major influence on this development. Before he opened his art gallery \u2018L\u2019Art Nouveau Bing\u2019, where he sold New (applied) Arts, he had been trading in Japanese artefacts and prints for a long time. From the early 1880\u2019s onwards, there was a true Japan craze in the West. Bing responded to this by travelling to Japan to open import and export companies in Yokohama and Kobe.
\nBing\u2019s imported Japanese prints had a particularly big impact on European artists, like Vincent van Gogh who was a keen buyer.<\/p>\nBing launched \u2018Le Japon Artistique\u2019 in 1888, a magazine filled with articles mainly about artworks from his own collection. In the first issue, Bing describes Japanese art as \u2018Art Nouveau\u2019, a New Art, which would have a lasting and alluring influence on Western art.
\nThis statement proved prophetic, as Western artists later created their own movement based on Japanese art called Japonism, which turned out to be the birthplace of Art Nouveau as we know it.<\/p>\n
At our Autumn exhibition, we present to you a richly packed display window with Dutch and European Art Nouveau artworks, based on Japanese designs. Amongst others, we will showcase a large so-called \u2018Japanese Vase\u2019 by Rozenburg The Hague, manufactured in the autumn of 1896. The vase is decorated with Japanese dragons. Not only does this piece of art show that Rozenburg was closely following the fashion of the day, it also depicts multiple references to the use of opium, which was a very popular habit back in those days!<\/p>\n
We warmly welcome you to our exhibition, and invite you to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nRachel Reijers, Jaap Nieuwenhuizen Segaar, Rob van Vulpen and Marc Knook<\/p>\n<\/div>
