Emery, Elizabeth: Reframing Japonisme, Women and the Asian Art Market in Nineteenth-Century France, 1853-1914. London: 2020. 264 pages, 50 black & white illustrations and 13 colour plates. Hardback. 23 x 15cms. Review of the collecting and display practices of European and American women involved in the Japanese and Chinese art market during the nineteenth century. Clémence d'Ennery (1823-1898), who began collecting Japanese and Chinese chimeras in the 1840s, built and decorated a house for them in the 1870s and bequeathed the Musée d'Ennery to the state as a free public museum in 1893. Travelers to Japan such as the Duchesse de Persigny, Isabella Stewart Gardner, and Laure Durand- Fardel returned with souvenirs that they shared with friends and family. Salon hostesses including Juliette Adam, Louise Cahen d'Anvers, Princesse Mathilde, and Marguerite Charpentier provided venues for the discussion and examination of Japanese art objects, as did art dealers Madame Desoye, Madame Malinet, Madame Hatte and Madame Langweil. Writers, actresses, and artists Judith Gautier, Thérèse Bentzon, Sarah Bernhardt, and Mary Cassatt took inspiration from the Japanese material in circulation to inform their own works. This study explores their role in expanding the Western taste for 'Japonisme' at the turn of the century.
