| Throughout the development history of the three centuries of ukiyo-e,the ukiyo-e integrated the characteristics of Eastern and Western art,developed its own unique eclectic style of painting,Influenced European art in the nineteenth century,raised the Japaneseism frenzy and led to the transformation of European decorative arts.Although,ukiyo-e and European art are belong to different philosophy system,the ukiyo-e had shown a good way to abstract pictures which through the planar linear composition,the visual impact of color,the asymmetric balance and the resolution of space,initiating new thinking in the decorative arts world and becaming the foundation of the development of modern decorative arts.In terms of the choice of the theme,the natural theme in ukiyo-e is in line with the changing needs of the 19 th century decorative arts.The artist has found a way to transform the decorative effect from nature from ukiyo-e.From the secular world of ukiyo-e,they found the romantic feelings and opened the new style of decorative art.The wave of Japaneseism sparked the thinking of European artists about the appeal of decorative art.Japanese art treats "pure art" and "applied art" equally,and allows "beauty" and "functionality" to coexist,bringing new ideas to the European design community.So far,apart from the wave of Japaneseism brought to the European art world by Ukiyo-e in the 19 th century,no Oriental art has ever had such a profound influence in the Western art world.Chinese arts is the origin of Japanese art,the influence of Chinese art works on the West in the same period is far less than that of Ukiyo-e.This issue is also thought-provoking.Today,as the foundation stone of modern design,the 19 th century European decorative art thought under the influence of ukiyo-e still has its irreplaceable significance. |
