What do you call this genre of art please?
Thanks.
I find them calming and I like.the little red banner that they often include.
There is a wonderful art exhibition touring the United States right now about Hokusai, the Edo period artist often considered the "father of ukiyo-e" style art. It has a lot of originals, his students work, and modern takes on classics. The focus of the exhibit though is Hokusai's "Great Wave off Kanagawa". Keep an ear out and if it comes to a museum near you, I can't recommend it enough. I saw it twice when it was near by... and if I'm ever near it again, I'd go see it a third time without hesitation.
Sadly I'm in the UK, but I would have liked to have gone.
Lovely, thank you!
Thanks for sharing! The transitions in the water and sky, stronger/darker/deeper color near the borders of the plants, and black outlines make me think of water coloring.
Btw, I think it's funny that a helpful user sharing traditional art is from the porn instance lol
Art is subjective 😉
They had the original of the "Dream of the Fisherman's wife" by Hokusai too... but I'd have felt a bit creepy taking a picture of it like this.
If I happen to find myself at it again, I'll snap some pictures for you.
