Émile Gallé et al.
A great many objects of Japanese arts made their way to Europe during the second half of the nineteenth century through various means: some came with diplomats returning home from Japan, others were displayed at the World Expositions held in London and Paris, and so on. Elements of these arts were quickly adopted into local arts and culture creating the phenomenon dubbed "Japonisme". The influences were seen in painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass works and architecture, and eventually spread from Europe to the United States.
The works of Emile Gallé (1846-1904), one of the leading glass artists of the late nineteenth century, were no exception: the influence of Japanese arts can be seen in his works in myriad forms. He began working in glass when Japonisme was at its height of popularity. Throughout his lifetime, he devoted himself to deepening his means of artistic expression and maintained strong ties to Japanese art. This exhibition will explore the ways in which Gallé discovered, incorporated and transformed Japanese arts found in Europe. The developments in Japonisme seen in Gallé's works will be presented through his own works, other contemporary arts and crafts, and the Japanese arts that influenced them.
