Representation of Japanese Art by Nordic Women Artists
Description
Japanese artifacts became popular in Europe in the late 19th century, serving as a source of inspiration for many artists. Like other European artists, Scandinavian painters took an interest in Japanese art. With the International Symposium “Modern Art and Japonisme in the North” held in 2015, recent years have witnessed a dedicated exploration of Nordic Japonisme. However, further research is needed to cover unexplored aspects concerning the relationship between Nordic women artists and Japanese art. This paper explores how Nordic women artists have incorporated Japanese objects into their paintings. The end of the 19th century marked a pivotal moment when women artists sought independence. Given the limited access to academic training for women in Scandinavian countries, many of them studied in Paris or Munich. Bertha Wegmann (1847–1926), a Danish painter who studied in Munich and Paris, successfully established herself as a sought-after artist. By analyzing the environment surrounding Wegmann and the images of Japanese artifacts in paintings by Nordic artists, this paper aims to elucidate how Japanese-inspired motifs appear in paintings by Nordic women. Additionally, it seeks to highlight the potential role of these motifs in contributing to these women’s self-assertion as artists.
