Japan held a profound fascination for western artists in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the influence of Japonisme on western art was pervasive. Paradoxically; just as western artists were beginning to find inspiration in Japan and Japanese art; Japan was opening to the western world and beginning a process of thorough modernisation; some have said westernisation. The mastery of western art was included in the programme.This book examines the nineteenth century art world against this background and explores Japanese influences on four artists working in Britain in particular: the American James McNeill Whistler; the Australian Mortimer Menpes; and the Glasgow boys George Henry and Edward Atkinson Hornel. Japonisme in Britian is richly illustrated throughout.

Someone should update it with more showsBy Thomas K DeShazorI enjoy this collection; I am using it to teach a class of youth right now. It can be a bit challenging finding and edit scenes without profanity; so I had to get creative by chopping a few scenes. I hope that someone releases another anthology of scenes that are a bit more modern or update this one. 20 years of great work by African American playwrights have been produced since this book was published. It would be great to have more selections of scene-books for actors of color.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
