It is a shame that many people are not aware of such great cultural exchanges in the past. It is evident from the paintings depicted in this video, that two varying cultures of different origins can not only live together in harmony, but benefit by the sharing of knowledge. I like to see that the bond between East and West exists; it assures me that mere differences in ways of thought are not significant enough to divide us. Great video.
i have always loved chinoiserie style. i believe a touch of it in every room, elevates that room to something very classy and classic, even if the room is ultra modern. i have collected many forms of chinoiserie furniture, object de art, paintings, fabrics, and i incorporate a little bit here and there all over my home.
It's interesting to see the transformation of Chinese arts and culture into part of the new art movement of the western world. Chinoiserie is rather eccentric in a way but the evolution of the style is rather intriguing.
if anyone gets a chance to look up an interior decoration book by ANNE GETTY (i do not remember the name exactly), and see her home decor...chinoiserie up, down and all around. it is like her interior of her home was dipped in chinoiserie circa 1770's. but you must keep in mind, she has access to all of the Getty Museums finest pieces, and access to travels all over the world...i do not.
Wow! Excellent! I"m sharing it now with all my colleagues! Check out Taste of Life magazine, Carolyn. We host a column about chinoiserie each month! Your video is very informative and inspiring.

Thank you for the video!
I want alllll the things you showed in your presentation! IMHO, Prussian blue is GORGEOUS
And a girl can’t go past a lovely rosewood stand or 17th century porcelain or heck, even export trade porcelain!
Who, please, wrote the poem at the end?💕
