Abstract

Ukiyoe was adored by western artists when it was introduced in Europe in the mid-nineteenth century. Many schools of art more or less refer to and integrate with Ukiyoe. Vuillard is also deeply influenced by aesthetic language of Ukiyoe. The color characteristics and expression methods absorb Ukiyoe elements with themes from life, paying attention to beauty in form and weakening three-dimensional space of paintings. With the acute visual way and the softhearted inner experience, Vuillard expresses personal subjective emotion and his painting style has decorative taste. This paper analyzes the transmission of Ukiyoe in Europe and the influence of Ukiyoe on European painting art, and emphatically discusses the relationship of Vuillard's painting style and Ukiyoe as well as the influence factors of artistic features of Ukiyoe on Vuillard's works. Through the analysis on some of Vuillard's works, it further explains the aesthetic features of Ukiyoe in Vuillard's paintings.
