LA GRAN OLA DE KANAhttp://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=12314509GAWA

Gracias al Churches ahora sabemos que Hokusai es el que hizo esta gran ilustración (la que puse de post secret, la de la ola amenazando a los barcos, delante del Monte Fuji). Impresa sobre madera. En el título les dejo la explicación del Wiki.


The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏, Kanagawa oki nami ura?) is a famous woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai. A literal translation of the Japanese name would be "Off Kanagawa, the back (or underside) of a wave." It was published in 1832 (Edo Period) as the first in Hokusai's series 36 Views of Mount Fuji and is his most famous work. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa; Mount Fuji can be seen in the background. The wave is probably not intended to be a tsunami, but a normal ocean wave created by the wind. Like the other prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions.

Copies of the print hang at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the British Museum in London, and in Claude Monet's house in Giverny, France.

Buen lunes.
