Henri Rivière’s landscapes are fascinating — inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, but depicting his native France. They’re over 100 years old!

The amount of art that was inspired by the likes of Hokusai is surprisingly astounding. Van Gogh was a huge fan of his work.
This is one I had no idea about but I absolutely love it.
Yes! Monet too. Japanese art had quite an influence in Europe in the era
I have a book somewhere I got from a Hokusai exhibition that came to a nearby art museum, it is all about the "classical masters" and how they were influenced by Ukiyo-e style masters. I'll have to read it again and see if it mentions Monet.
Oh that sounds like a lovely book! If you by chance remember pls lmk the name
I wasn't able to find the one I was thinking of...but I did find the one that focused on Van Gogh
Thats lovely. Thanks for remembering and sharing!
Sure thing! I'll see if I can put my hands on it tomorrow.
