In this module, we learned that Japanese prints (often called ukiyo-e, or “images of the floating world”) had an influence on the design aesthetics of artists in the late nineteenth century. Choose one of the following artists and an example of one of their works that exhibits this influence:
Claude Monet
Edgar Degas
Mary Cassatt
Vincent Van Gogh
Paul Gauguin
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec
Describe the work using at least three elements of visual analysis, and explain how they reference Japanese design aesthetics. How and why did Japanese prints come to influence artists working in France? Finally, attach a jpeg image within your discussion and give the title, dimensions, and date of the work.
