內容簡介 / DESCRIPTION & SUMMARY

內容簡介

本書深入探討了1854年日本開國後，江戶時代浮世繪（如葛飾北齋、歌川廣重、喜多川歌麿等大師作品）流入西方，對19世紀晚期法國印象派與納比派（Nabis）版畫創作帶來的顛覆性變革。作者 Colta Feller Ives 透過精準的圖版對照，解析了馬奈（Manet）、德加（Degas）、卡薩特（Cassat）、波納爾（Bonnard）、維亞爾（Vuillard）、羅特列克（Toulouse-Lautrec）及高更（Gauguin）等大師如何借鑒日本木版畫的大膽構圖、平塗色彩、不對稱視角以及對日常世俗生活的捕捉。全書收錄 114 幅珍貴版畫圖版（含 24 幅全彩印刷），並附有詳盡的歷史年表與參考書目。

Summary

Published in 1974 by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this landmark volume investigates the profound impact of Japanese Ukiyo-e woodcuts—by masters such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Utamaro—on 19th-century French printmaking. Author Colta Feller Ives meticulously demonstrates how the French Impressionists and the Nabis incorporated bolder, flatter forms, asymmetrical compositions, and striking viewpoints into their own graphics. Through side-by-side comparisons of 114 illustrations (including 24 in full color), the book details the historical "cult of Japan" that inspired iconic artists from Manet, Degas, and Cassatt, to Bonnard, Vuillard, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin.

背景與重要性 / HISTORICAL BACKGROUND & SIGNIFICANCE

 歷史背景：

19世紀中葉「日本主義」（Japonisme）風靡歐陸，西方藝術家試圖擺脫傳統學院派寫實主義的束縛，而日本浮世繪那種超越二維透視、捕捉瞬間流動（“浮世”）的藝術語言，成為了現代藝術誕生的催化劑。本書正是探討這場跨文化藝術碰撞最具權威性的學術著作之一。

學者流傳履歷（Provenance）：

此冊為頂尖亞洲研究學者、經濟學家艾伯特·蓋德爾博士（Dr. Albert Keidel）在其研究生涯早期的私人藏書。書內不僅留有其親筆簽名，最獨特之處在於其黃色布面硬皮上壓印的日本傳統風格徽章，這將一位西方學者對東亞經濟與文化的終身熱忱，以極具藝術感的方式視覺化地烙印在書骨之上。

 Significance:

Following the opening of Japan in 1854, the influx of Japanese artifacts and prints sparked a monumental shift in Western aesthetics known as Japonisme. The bold graphic language of Ukiyo-e served as a primary catalyst for European Modernism. Ives' work remains a cornerstone study documenting this cross-cultural artistic dialogue.

Distinguished Provenance:

This copy hails from the academic repository of the renowned East Asian economist Dr. Albert Keidel. Acquired during his time in New York City in March 1975, the volume bears his bold "KEIDEL" ownership mark on the flyleaf. Adding extraordinary collector appeal, the cloth-bound hardcover features a distinct, elegant Japanese crest (Kamon) ink stamp on the back—perfectly bridging the book's scholarly content with the collector's deep personal affinity for East Asian heritage.
