About this product

Product Information

Explores a critical point in the spread of modernism to and through Japan in the late nineteenth century: Western writers responding to Japan's "opening" to the West at the time said they were witnessing the end of pure Japanese art and the beginning of a lamentable phase of westernized cultural hybrids. By the early 1880s, Japanese artists, critics, and policymakers had become so distressed about these international perceptions that they collectively sought to elevate contemporary Japanese art's value and reputation abroad. How to do this was a matter of intense discussion within Japan, often in consultation with important Western collectors. These discussions eventually crystallized around a new term: nihonga, or "Japanese painting," coined by the Japanese to distinguish traditional forms of painting from oil painting and other mediums that had recently been introduced from the West. In doing so, they did more than devise a new name for something that had existed all along: the term nihonga marked a new way of conceptualizing the pastness of Japanese painting and defining the roles that such painting might play in the modernizing era (1868-1912.

Reviews
Foxwell's book is scholarly work of the highest order, its primary subject of analysis and the topics developed from it are exceedingly important, and its assiduously developed analysis is substantial and original. Making Modern Japanese-Style Painting not only introduces and contextualizes its subject, it offers an original way of conceptualizing it. In doing so, it serves not only as a significant study in the history of Japanese art, but a significant intervention in art history more broadly., [Foxwell] has a fine eye for analyses of paintings. . . . This messy period is clarified a lot by this book. . . . Highly recommended., Foxwell makes a crucial and timely contribution to the growing body of studies on the artistic practices upended by Japan's political transformation from insular feudalism to internationalist constitutional monarchy. Making Modern Japanese-Style Painting provides a fresh and compelling alternative to understanding the late-nineteenth-century nexus of thinkers, producers, and consumers of art., Skillfully bridging the late Edo and Meiji periods, Foxwell has made a major contribution to new art historical scholarship. Questioning any facile overlay of political transformations onto the world of art, as well as conventional notions of Japanese cultural authenticity, she adeptly demonstrates that the highly diverse nineteenth-century Japanese art world was already undergoing massive changes that cannot simply be attributed to the implementation of a top-down governmental system. Her meticulous research is coupled with an impressively broad consideration of larger epistemological questions that make this a valuable text for all scholars and students interested in modern Japan during this period., Taken as a complete text, Making Modern Japanese-Style Painting demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the visual and cultural politics of the Meiji period, but, equally important, it supplies a useful foundational discussion of pre-Meiji painting. Furthermore, Foxwell is clearly versed in Western modern art history and critical theory, and succeeds in making effective use of this understanding to enhance her ideas and observations without overencumbering them., "[Foxwell] has a fine eye for analyses of paintings. . . . This messy period is clarified a lot by this book. . . . Highly recommended."
