Galerie Mont The Great Wave off Kanagawa – Hokusai^ Hokusai

This work by Katsushika Hokusai is a symbol of how the Japanese feel the fragility of their country, which is subject to the aggressions of nature. From the infinitely large to the infinitely small, the wave evokes a continuous and perpetual movement. The blue and white are clearly separated, the forms are marked with a black ring characteristic of Hokusai’s style, and the balance is perfect between the forms, the full and the empty.
