Zusammenfassung:During his lifetime, the French artist Félix Régamey became an accepted authority on the arts of Japan and comparative drawing pedagogy. While his admiration for Japanese cultural production has been treated in isolation from his pledge to reform French drawing instruction, his expertise in each domain converged on multiple occasions.
