- Title

- Abstract
Polish Japonisme, i.e. Japanese art as a source of inspiration in the work of the Polish painters and printmakers of early modernist period (late 19th and early 20th centuries). The article will present well-known Polish artists such as Olga Boznańska, Julian Fałat, Wojciech Weiss, Leon Wyczółkowski, Satnisław Wyspiański, and Jan Stanisławski and his talented students. In juxtaposing the work of Polish artists of the Young Poland period with selected examples of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints and silk paintings (by such masters as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro) and sculptures and artistic handicraft, I will analyse this phenomenon from a 21st-century perspective. This new approach encourages the reader to make comparisons, to look - almost as a matter of course - for similarities and differences between Polish and Japanese arts, and, in revealing the clear and deep analogies between the two cultures, to engage in an intercultural dialogue.
