葛飾北斎画展 Hokusai Exhibition- 2
富嶽三十六景 36 Views of Mount Fuji
網路上有関「富嶽三十六景」的資料很多, 至於图象, 三十六景+ 十景都可以找到, 在波士頓美術館網頁搜尋其藏品就可找得到, 圖象比我的清楚很多。我放上來的目的並非要給各位看官看, 而是用作個人的「過眼煙雲錄」, 待那天走不動的時侯, 拿着個 iPad 什麽的, 回味一下, 看官勿笑。
There are tons of info online about Hokusai’s 36 Views of Mount Fuji, all the images can also be found. Moreover, the quality of the images are better than mine, particularly if you search MFA Boston’s website. Then, what is the point posting all these pictures? My friends, this is mean to serve as a log for myself, when the day comes that I have to stay home, I can revisit these posts with an iPad or computer and enjoy them again.
北斎出道早, 成名郤遲, 差不多六十歲後才出名。這一輯「富嶽三十六景」創作於古稀之年, 這時正是他的創作高峰。每一張都以富士山為背景, 創作此系列除了滿足當時旅遊的興旺, 加上北斎對此題材的偏愛。此輯原為三十六景, 其後再添十景, 乃以「富嶽三十六景」為名。
From http://36-views.com/mount-fuji/ : 「When Hokusai (1760-1849) started this series in 1830 he was seventy years old and at the peak of his creativity and artistic vigor. Each of the designs show the sacred Mount Fuji – either very visible or sometimes as a small detail in the background. The series is a landmark in Japanese woodblock printmaking of the 19th century. The series was published over 5 years by Nishimuraya Yohachi. The series of 36 designs was later expanded by another 10 designs that are not shown on this page. Then the production of new designs was stopped for unknown reasons.」
