1977年日本浮世繪與西方畫家 弗蘭克·威特福德著 (First Edition, London: Studio Vista, 1977)

內容簡介 / DESCRIPTION & SUMMARY

 簡介：

本書是探討「日本主義」（Japonisme）以及十九世紀至二十世紀初日本浮世繪對歐洲現代繪畫深遠影響的權威經典之作。作者 Frank Whitford 深入剖析了自1853年黑船事件、日本開國後，大量精美的浮世繪木刻版畫（包括葛飾北齋、歌川廣重、喜多川歌磨等大師作品）如何流入西方，並以其大膽的平面構圖、鮮明的裝飾性色彩以及對日常生活的真摯描繪，徹底顛覆了歐洲傳統的學院派繪畫。書中分章探討了馬奈、惠斯勒、德加、莫內及印象派諸家、高更、梵谷、修拉、克林姆與席勒等大師如何汲取日本美學養分，是研究東西方藝術交匯不可或缺的巨著。

 Summary:

This volume is a definitive and comprehensive study of "Japonisme" and the profound influence of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints on Western modern painting from the 19th to the early 20th century. Author Frank Whitford meticulously analyzes how, following the arrival of Commodore Perry's "Black Ships" in 1853 and the opening of Japan, thousands of exquisite woodblock prints by masters such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Utamaro flooded the West. With their bold compositions, brilliant decorative palettes, and honest portrayals of daily life, these prints offered a radical alternative to the outmoded traditions of European academic art. The text explores in depth how masters like Manet, Whistler, Degas, Monet, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, Schiele, and Klimt absorbed the Japanese aesthetic, making this an indispensable reference for the cross-cultural synthesis of East and West.
