This is genius. Great Cthulhu, however, will not be pleased; he prefers to fight his battles secretly and celebrate his triumphs quietly, by gnawing on the skulls of the living vanquished. He’s funny that way.

Hi Claytonian,
I am not sure whom you are answering to – I was answering Benon’s comment. That should be clear from the way the boxes are structured.

I can see that YOU know something about art history. I agree that impressionism got heavily influenced. It seems like a trend in Europe starting in the 19th century to look abroad for influences.

Ukiyo-e has roots in the 1500s. It gained real popularity in the 1670s. Impressionism on the other hand is a 19th century art movement that got going in the 1860s. Do some research before you go around insulting people; there is no need for you to play out the theory of the greater internet f%$#wad.

You really don’t know anything about art history, do you?

You may want to brush up on your impressionist history. Ukiyo-e prints caused a huge sensation in Europe.

japanese art never influenced European art dumbo!
Are you refering to manga art? if it is then yes it influenced the whole world, but not caligraphy or art like above. It’s more chinese art & european art influenced japan.

Thank you for the link.

This type of artwork reminds me how much Japanese art influenced European art deco and, later on, the psychodelic art of the 60s as well.
