Question
I was wondering if you had any available resources, web sites, books, or any information on the affect of Asian Prints on Impressionists and Post impressionist artists?

Answer
Hi Chris sorry for the delay. Asian Prints did play a large role in the impressionist era. If I were you I would look for reference of this in the work of Degas and Monet. Degas looked to the Japanese prints use of line and organization, which help to move the eye across the image. Monet used the point of view of the asian print over a koy pond.
