Elizabeth Emery: Reframing Japonisme: Women and the Asian Art Market in Nineteenth-Century France, 1853-1914 (Contextualizing Art Markets) [2022] paperback IFICT They can change our mindsJaponisme, the 19th century fascination for Japanese art, has generated an enormous body of scholarship since the beginning of the 21st first century, but most of it neglects the women who acquired objects from the Far East and sold them to clients or displayed them in their homes before bequeathing them to museums. The stories of women shopkeepers, collectors, and artists rarely appear in memoirs left by those associated with the japoniste movement.
