I rate this alongside Kurosawa's Rashomon for the value in understanding points of view. Taken collectively they can be seen as a narrative. Changes in perspective, location, season, focus, landscape all make for views that nature and human transience should always be in our thoughts.
As a newbie regarding Asian art, I very much appreciated this simple and approachable edition of Hokusai's famous set of ukiyo-e prints from the 1830s. In addition to a robust historical and biographical introduction, Smith offers comprehensive analysis of each of the 102 images of Fuji created by the master of 19th century Japanese printmaking. This edition is informative and entertaining, I definitely recommend it for a rainy-day read.
What a marvelous book. The images of Fuji are amazing. I never thought about art from the point of view of the artist. I love the idea of looking at Fuji from so many perspectives. It opens up Japan in a way I never dreamed of.
Una raccolta di stampe del maestro Hokusai fatte negli anni '30 del XIX secolo. Una serie di trentasei viste del monte Fuji alla quale pochi anni dopo se ne aggiunsero altre dieci. Della prima serie fa parte la famosissima "Grande Onda". Il monte Fuji a volte è in primo piano maestoso, altre volte è piccolissimo sullo sfondo. Protagonista di tutte le stampe è la natura con un forte richiamo allo Shintoismo, a volte da sola, a volte in un contesto umano. Bellissime le "regole" geometriche show more delle opere ed il costante mischiarsi delle tecniche giapponesi, cinesi ed occidentali, con il Blu di Prussia, pigmento da poco scoperto. show less
