The Courtesan (after Eisen)
by Vincent van Gogh
Oil on canvas, 1887
Some say that Japanese woodblock prints majorly influenced European Impressionism and Art Nouveau. I find this fusion of art cultures to be very inspiring. Some of the best aspects of Japanese woodblock prints, such as the use of negative space, compositions, and a decorative quality, meet with some great aspects of European art, like emotive loose brush strokes and strong color palettes. I hope to create some designs that inspired by this collaboration.
