ART TRADE AND CULTURAL MEDIATION IN ASIA 1600-1...

This Palgrave Pivot explores the social and cultural impact of global trade at a micro-level
from around 1600 to 1950. Bringing together the collaborative skills of cultural  social 
economic  and art historians  it examines how the diffusion of trade  goods and objects
affected people¿s everyday lives. The authors tell several stories: of the role played by a
host of intermediaries ¿ such as apothecaries  artisans and missionaries who facilitated the
process  of objects such as Japanese export lacquer-ware and paintings  of how diverse artistic
influences came to be expressed in colonial church architecture in the Philippines  of
revolutionary changes wrought on quotidian tastes and preferences  as shown in the interior
decoration of private homes in the Dutch East Indies  and of transformations in the smoking and
drinking habits of Southeast Asians. The chapters consider the conditions from which emerged
new forms of artistic production and transfer  fresh cultural interpretations  and expanded
markets for goods  objects and images.
