The Blend Within “Art”

The Great Wave (1829 – 1832) by: Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849)

Japanese artist famous for Japanese woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e) Whose work was influenced by Dutch artists like Claes Jansz Visscher (1587 – 1622), Willem Buytenwech (1591 – 1624) amongst others. Inspired by their use of perspective, shading and realistic shadows. Instead of samurai’s and geishas, he introduced the serenity of nature into popular art, which was very uncommon.
