EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Farewell Gift for the Horse (Uma no Senbetsu), from the series 'A Selection of Horses (Uma-zukushi)', 1822" by Katsushika Hokusai, takes us on a journey back to 19th century Japan. The image showcases a stunning colour woodblock print, measuring 20.5 x 18.2 cm and housed in The Art Institute of Chicago. Hokusai's masterful artistry is evident in this piece, as he skillfully captures the essence of both still life and Japanese ukiyo-e style. The composition features an intricately detailed horse surrounded by various objects placed within boxes and crates. Each element is meticulously rendered with vibrant colors that bring them to life. The inclusion of calligraphy adds another layer of depth to the artwork, with beautifully inscribed words enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. This fusion of visual art and written expression creates a harmonious balance that embodies traditional Japanese culture. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to a time when horses held great significance in Japanese society - symbols of strength, loyalty, and companionship. The title itself suggests a farewell gesture towards these majestic creatures, perhaps hinting at their diminishing presence during this period. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail in this photograph print, allowing viewers to appreciate Hokusai's artistic genius up close. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists. Through this image, we are invited not only to admire the technical prowess displayed but also to reflect upon our own connection with nature and animals – reminding us that even centuries later, art continues to evoke emotions and transcend time boundaries.
