Hello, I am Nakai, an Adan staff member.
Today, we have a master of Japanese art who is still loved by many fans today and in the past,
I would like to report on my visit to the exhibition "Hokusai and Japonism: HOKUSAI's Impact on the West" by Katsushika Hokusai.
Ueno Park under cloudy skies.
On those days when the weather is cold and you feel cold and shriveled up, a visit to an art museum is the perfect way to spend the day.
The poses of Degas's "Dancers" and Hokusai's paintings, which are often used on posters, look exactly alike.
As they say, "Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Van Gogh, all learned from HOKUSAI.
The theme of this exhibition is,"Japonism."
Japonisme" - a new creative movement in the late 19th century by Western artists and people involved in architecture, music, literature, and theater, inspired by Japanese art.
Japanese culture, which flourished during the period of isolation, spread to Westerners when Japan opened its doors to the West, and its freshness captivated them.
Among them, Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan's most famous ukiyoe artists, was the only one who could cover all aspects of art, including people, animals, plants, landscapes, and architecture, and he gained so much popularity and fame that his work was recognized as "Hokusai = Ukiyoe.
The exhibition compared Hokusai's works with those of Western artists who were influenced by him,
I was keenly aware of the power of Hokusai's influence.
Hokusai is famous for his very large number of works.
The power of expression and the ability to depict everything from every possible angle,
I was still fascinated by the composition of the landscape painting~.
The exhibition will run through January 28!
I tried to visit the museum first thing in the morning on a weekday, but it was still a little crowded.
It will be very crowded after noon, so why don't you get up early and go?
The official website isthis way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)
There was a photo spot♪♪
Of course, I imitated a sumo wrestler and took pictures.
