As the exhibition and accompanying catalog suggest, contacts with the Far East led to fruitful periods of artistic interchange. The creation of chinoiseries during the eighteenth century is one such example. While contacts were maturing with China, Portuguese and Dutch traders searching for a faster way to reach the Orient contacted Japan and established trading ties. At first these ties were cordial, but misuse of the arrangements forced Japan to adopt a policy of seclusion. While some goods reached European ports during this bleak period and collections of Japanese objects were formed in Holland, it was not until the nineteenth century that Japan reached out to again establish normal relations with Western nations. Then, under the stimulus of Commodore Matthew C. Perry's trip to Japan, the doors of the country were thrown open to all Western nations. Throughout the 1850's and 1860's, art objects poured into the West, turning attention from the fading tradition of chinoiseries toward a fuller appreciation of Japonisme the study of the culture, history, and art of Japan. Lacquers, fans, bronzes, kakemonos, ceramics, illustrated books, and single ukiyo-e prints became prized possessions, frequently fought over by collectors in their quest to obtain all that was new and novel from this exotic country. The result of this constant association with and study of Japanese art objects is recorded in the French prints, paintings, and decorative-art objects assembled for this exhibition." excerpt from the foreword by Sherman E. Lee, Director, The Cleveland Museum of Art; Richard Randall, Director, The Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore; and Phillip Dennis Cate, Director, Rutgers University Art Gallery.
