How Japan Influenced Van Gogh, Impressionists and Modern European Art

Thankyou, great video. I have some Hiroshige prints on my walls and I am very fond of them.

first weeb ever

Hang Van Gogh's painting at Japan Expo.

Samurai Champloo introduced me to Van Gogh's relationship with Japan.

Wow, both surprising and fascinating

Van Go away

he looks so much like Jonathan Blow in that portrait holy shit

History's first weebs, lmao.
It is beyond fascinating how we've come full circle now in anime's golden age.
And I am saying this as an art student and illustrator in training who is largely inspired by the intricate and lesser known art styles of Japanese manga and anime.

I had not expected to see this far reaching of an influence in what I had thought to be (mostly) purely western art. It does make its ardent defenders and purists quite the hypocrites and I can't help but giggle at that.

so van gogh was a weeaboo with an anime oc?

💙👍

High as shi rn this shi heat 🎉

Well said, only clumsy compared to realism at this point one should get a camera.

Stabou

All my art gods are white. And, they all worship black, brown, and gold. ( We all adore each other’s works. Learn from them. Inspiration. )

ngl the reproductions of the japanese prints were waaaayyy worse than the original

Van Gogh would totally end up anime-style art if it existed in his time. He just like me fr

So I have something more in common with Van Gogh, we are both diehard weebs

Japanese art of the Edo period was revolutionized by western art , especially the concept of perspective and of street scenes

if van goch become sucess , he will probaly visit japan

Another brilliant and insightful video--thank you! Vincent was also a great writer. I love him for embracing the Japanese culture and art so deeply.

So, in a way, Vincent van Gogh and many European Impressionists were the first "otaku" (Japanese for obsessive pop culture geek). I love the great ukiyoe master Hiroshige also and can understand why Van Gogh was drawn to him. He was the Hayao Miyazaki of his time perhaps.

How dare he! Cancel her right nowwww!

I was just in Amsterdam, I spoke to Dutch people about this They were, to my surprise oblivious. Also, his Japanese influence was not even themed in any way historically. Thank you for making this video.

Yes Van Gogh idealized Japan, but if you know much about the man you know that he idealized and romanticized almost everything.

The first loner inserting himsef into a japanese oc

I only wish he had shown some effort in prononciation of Japanese names just as he did with French names

Sooo van gogh was a weeb

So Van Gogh would be a major weeb nowadays

Hey, just wanted to say that I greatly admired your content, you're incredible. And I've been completely binging your entire channel!

I did a whole term paper Japonisme, the Scottish artist E.A. Hornel and his obsession with Japan. They were the original weebs, pretty fascinating honestly. My favourite Hornel painting is “Woman in Japanese Clothing”, it’s so damn cool.

van gogh is the first weeb

Van Gogh: the most beautiful weaboo

Van gogh walked so that oli London could run

the first weeb.

What a weeb he was. Totally can’t relate WDYM? (Hides JoJo merch, anime/JRPG artbooks including a Japanese version of Persona 5’s)

Now I have a completely new perspective, not only on Van Gogh's artworks, but on japanese arts & culture, history and identity. I, too, am a great fan of japanese culture, and this video gave me this feeling of identification with Van Gogh. I was already amazed by his work, but now I think it comes to a more profound and intimate level.

Lol Van Gogh was a weeb.

In all seriousness, the mutual fascination between Japan and the West in the last 200 years is an incredible cultural phenomena that, in my opinion, is not explored enough from an intellectual point of view, taking in account the weight and influence it has now and in the past as well.

excelente explicacion!

WEEEEEEEEB

🎨🖌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'm Japanese. Thank you so much for making this fascinating video! It's really helpful to understand not only the history of art, but also my own country.

I had heard of the influence that Japanese art had on the Impressionists, but only from your videos did I get the details - including examples of the many paintings. Thank you 🙏

Thank you! Really good video essay. “Japonisme” as it was called in France was parallel to the obsessions with African art that also found it’s way to Europe around the same time. It would be great for us French people to acknowledge more openly how much our “ French culture” really has been reshaped and transformed for the better by diverse influences and willingness for artists to embrace it. Today the western world frets for it’s culture because of mass migrations…if it could just also appreciate that lots of great new art and culture will be born out all this….

Thank you. This insight provides quite a gift. I’m a photographer. But these are the artists are my muses
