Galerie Mont Masculine Wave – Hokusai^ Hokusai

The masculine counterpart to “Feminine Wave”, this work by Katsushika Hokusai is striking in its energy and strength. The artist fixes through painting a fleeting moment, a liquid movement impossible to stop. The flows mix but also oppose each other, by different trajectories and by the contrasts of their respective colors. Evoking combat and vigor, this wave with a warlike temperament embodies the typically masculine spiritual essence, as it was accepted in the Edo period. The work contrasts with Feminine Wave, by the same artist.
