Japanese summer in Amsterdam.(Vincent van Gogh National Museum )
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has three exhibitions on view until October 22 that are devoted to aspects of nineteenth-century Japanese art. They can all be seen in the exhibition wing designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa.
The first exhibition, entitled Women from Tokyo & Paris, explores the influence of Japanese prints and paintings on French artists when the prints were displayed at the Paris Expositions of 1867, 1878, and 1889. In the exhibition, which contains works by Japanese and French artists, a woman's day from early morning to late in the evening is traced in paintings, prints, and objects such as clothing, toiletries, and musical instruments. The guest curators are Kris Schiermeier and Matthi Forrer. There is no catalogue.
