Galerie Mont Egrets – Hokusai^ Hokusai

In Egrets, Hokusai chose to depict with a deliberate simplicity that illustrates his talent for capturing the essence of a subject. These birds, sketched with an economy of line, are distinguished by their natural elegance. Their pure forms and graceful postures are emphasised, devoid of any superfluous elements. These egrets, although evoked by simple strokes, carry all the delicacy and finesse characteristic of ukiyo-e. With this work, Hokusai demonstrates that simplicity can be a powerful vehicle for conveying beauty and emotion, offering a masterly lesson in minimalist art.
