Much has been made, in art and elsewhere, of the "East meets West" cliche. Here in Japan in the latter decades of the 19th century, the Meiji government sent boatloads of painters to Europe to study yoga (Western-style painting). They brought back oils and chiaroscuro, but their work -- as with the Japonisme then in vogue with Western artists -- was frequently derivative or superficial.
Other Asian cultures, too, have had their influence on the West, and vice versa, in the increasingly interconnected world of modern art. Again, this has yielded mixed results.
One painter who got it right -- goes the consensus among critics, curators and collectors -- is Zao Wou-Ki.
