From the late nineteenth century, works inspired by Western art spread to China and Korea through Japan. Thus, Western art came to be accepted in China and Korea as a reinterpretation of Japan’s development of Western art, rather than a direct transmission from Western sources. This act of reinterpretation went on to have a lasting effect on the practice of Western-style painters in East Asia with their own acceptance modes. This thesis provides a study of self-portraits and nude paintings, two categories of painting without precedent in East Asia prior to the late nineteenth century, created by Kuroda Seiki, Li Shutong, Go Hui-dong, and Kim Gwan-ho in order to illustrate how East Asian countries established their own versions of modern art.

Vid utvecklingen av nya produkter kan det vara utmanande att etablera en effektiv kommunikation mellan de olika intressenterna som är involverade i framtagningen av produktprover. Många parter med skilda erfarenheter är inblandade i processen och gör olika tolkningar av en plaggskiss. Omvandlingen från sådana skisser till en produktspecifikation kan resultera i felaktigheter om det inte är tydlig kommunikation mellan de olika parterna. Detta resulterar i felaktiga produktprover som inte godkänns. Syftet med denna studie är att utvärdera implementeringen av digital visualisering vid framställning av produktprover inom modeindustrin. Detta möjliggörs genom en granskning av tre olika perspektiv, tidigare forskning, semistrukturerade intervjuer med aktuella modeföretag samt en fallstudie där framställning av ett produktprov tas fram helt utifrån ett digitalt visualiseringsprogram. Detta för att få en överblick av möjligheten till digital visualiserings implementering vid framtagning av produktprover. Denna uppsats kombinerar olika metoder då de kompletterar och berikar varandra, vilket resulterar i en mer nyanserad diskussion och minskar risken för brister. Resultatet visar på att genom digital visualiserings implementering vid produktprover kan man effektivare ta fram produktprover genom tredimensionella simuleringar och kommunikationen mellan berörda parter vid framtagningen av produkter förenklas. / During the development of new products, establishing effective communication among the various stakeholders involved in the production of product samples can be challenging. Multiple parties with different experiences are tasked with interpreting a garment sketch and transforming it into a product specification. Inconsistencies in interpretation often lead to inaccuracies in the product description. Consequently, when the production phase reaches the creation of a product sample, there is a high probability of it not being approved. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of digital visualization in the production of product samples within the fashion industry. This is accomplished through an examination of three perspectives: previous research, semi-structured interviews with relevant fashion companies, and a case study where a product sample is developed entirely using a digital visualization program. By adopting this multi-method approach, the study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the potential for implementing digital visualization in the production of product samples. This combination of methodologies enriches the analysis and mitigates the risk of limitations. The findings indicate that digital visualization implementation in product sampling enables the more efficient creation of product samples through three-dimensional simulations. It simplifies communication channels among the involved parties during the production of product samples.
