Abstract

In the 19th century, European society faced a turbulent period with the Industrial Revolution, forming a capitalist world market and transforming into an imperial society. The history of Western art, which sought endless challenges and quests in search of new artistic expressions, increased interest in Japanese culture and art through London in 1862 and the World Exposition in Paris in 1867. Japonism in European art went beyond shock and curiosity and became a turning point in art history. Ukiyo-e, which caused the Japanese craze in modern western society, had a significant influence on Edo period painting with a universal aesthetic and artistic value that could be enjoyed by all classes, not for a specific class. This study analyzed the trend of Japonism, which had a significant influence on the revival movement of modernist painting and decorative arts by transmitting the originality of Japanese aesthetics to French society. Based on the formative characteristics of Japonism, aesthetic values, and exotic motifs such as ukiyo-e, three makeup artworks utilizing traditional meaning and modern materials and characteristics were produced. Body art will inspire from Japanese art and create a new visual expression style in various ways to activate the artistic mix of East and West cultures and establish itself as a modern art while continuing the tradition. In addition, various contents with high utility value will be developed for body art.
