Large
Oban Japanese Color Woodblock – Hokusai – 36 Views Of Mount Fuji
– Description: Genuine Japanese color
woodblock by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Hokusai’s Great Wave contrasts majestic nature and diminutive mankind. The influence of Western perspective looms large in the design: where the artists of a generation or two earlier would have had to present a telephoto view, with the wave hardly reaching the height of the mountain, Hokusai is able to project us into the midst of the action, with a wide-angle close-up in which Mt. Fuji is reduced to a part of the background. The print is so strongly decorative in design that we almost tend to overlook the human element – three cargo boats with their oarsmen clinging on for dear life as the sea batters them at will. Interestingly enough, Hokusai had experimented with very similar scenes in his early uki-e prints, but only now, a generation later, did he suceed in combining Western concepts with native tradition to finalize his concept of the landscape print. It was, incidentally, this “Great Wave” more than any other Japanese print that astounded and delighted the Impressionists and Postimpressionists in Paris at the close of the 19th century; Debussy is said to have used it as his inspiration for the orchestral piece La Mer (1905). Together with Rembrandt’s Night Watch and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Hokusai’s Great Wave is probably one of the the most dominating images in art history today. |
