Reviews
'A persuasive, sumptuous exploration of Japanese influence on western modernism ... pairings of paintings by Monet, Manet and Degas with Japanese works, and discussions of gold-adorned Klimt and sexy Schiele, are revelatory' - Financial Times (Books of the Year)
'Invaluable for anyone with an interest in late-19th-century European art and culture' - Country Life
'In-depth essays and superb colour illustrations' - Ceramic Review
'If art books were nominated for annual awards ... then 'Japonisme and the Rise of the Modern Art Movement' would definitely be a front-runner in the "most beautiful book category for 2013"' - Art Eyewitness
