The Great Wave off Kanagawa Poster Print by Hokusai (24 x 36)

The breathtaking composition of this woodblock print, said to have inspired Debussy�s La Mer (The Sea) and Rilke�s Der Berg (The Mountain), 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. Katsushika Hokusai (1760_1849) was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. He is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1831) which includes the iconic and internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s. Poster Print by Hokusai (24 x 36) is a licensed Poster Print that was reproduced on Premium Stock Paper and ships in an oversized tube for maximum protection.
