Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the center of this course is the series "36 Views of Mount Fuji" (1830-1833) by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), consisting of 46 color woodcuts. No other artist or work has such a strong and lasting influence on the Western image of Japanese art.
Aimed at Hokusai's work, the development of Japanese landscape art from about 1750 to 1850 is pursued, the final point is Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858) with the groundbreaking series "100 Famous Views from Edo" (1858).
We will trace the different styles in this landscape series of Hokusai.
On the one hand, traditional Sansui painting is still important, on the other hand, Chinese-Western elements are processed, as they were developed in the 18th century in court painting in Beijing under Jesuit influence, and finally almost simultaneous Western-European stylistic devices in landscape representation, which - starting from Dutch and English gentlemen painting - found worldwide spread through colonialist enterprises by Europeans. We will visit the MAK's Asia Collection several times to study originals.
