About DECORARTS The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, Katsushika
The Great Wave off Kanagawa The breathtaking composition of this woodblock print, inspired by Debussy's La Mer (The Sea) and Rilke's Der Berg (The Mountain). The painting ensures its reputation as an icon of world art. Hokusai cleverly played with perspective to make Japan's grandest mountain appear as a small triangular mound within the hollow of the cresting wave. The artist became famous for his landscapes created using a palette of indigo and imported Prussian blue. Art is a great status symbol in modern society. Because of that, it can be quite intimidating to the casual viewer. Art can be a great source of pleasure in our lives as well, and even a passing acquaintance with art can enrich our understanding of the world around us.
