The French & Cultural Appropriation | Claude Monet & La Japonaise - Art History Storytime

Claude Monet dealt with hardships throughout his life, but that didn’t stop him from sticking to his artistic expression and creating a new and revolutionary art style that we now know as impressionism. This video goes into his motives for painting one particular piece, La Japonaise. Let’s take a look at the parts of the painting and the controversy that has followed it from the time it was made to the present day.

The samurai warrior depicted on Camille's kimono is Miyamoto Musashi (see Wikipedia) and it's unlikely that his mug was ever on a kimono of the period. His image was common in stylized Japanese painting, but not printed on silk...for women.

Hi Stephanie. This comment is two-fold...it is creating my channel and...it is to say that I think you've hit on a nice vibe. I'm interested in talking about art. We need to bring Art to the forefront of society just like it was in the past. We need to make it as important to learn and talk about as, say, Mathematics. I'll keep a look out for you . Patrick

I love that, yes! When humans devote time and energy to art, good things come out of it. We see this throughout our entire human history.

art museums ban paintings like republicans ban books

Ok: Americans killed and dislocated millions of Native Americans taking their lands. British killed off millions of Indians by stealing their resources 2 times. Yet we’re so petty we’ll protest a European painting of a cultures attire that a European lady wore. Do something useful like protesting the injustices of capitalism, shrinking wages, rising housing costs, wealthy robbing the American people and keeping them in poverty. Much more interesting and much more useful. Unfortunately our worship of some things like capitalism at all costs makes us ignore the truly very important issues of the day. AND THIS PAINTING IS NOT ONE OF THOSE ISSUES PEOPLE SHOULD EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT!!!!!

Much bigger fish to fry than this painting indeed!
