Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

La peinture "Chôshi dans la province de Shimôsa" de Katsushika Hokusai capture une scène maritime dynamique où de grandes vagues en mouvement, caractéristiques du style ukiyo-e, dominent la composition. Deux bateaux de pêche en bois, luttant contre les eaux agitées, sont représentés avec des pêcheurs en vêtements traditionnels japonais, luttant pour maintenir l'équilibre. L'un des pêcheurs porte une veste en paille pour se protéger des éclaboussures. En arrière-plan, une falaise escarpée et couverte de végétation ajoute de la profondeur et contraste avec les tons de bleu de l'eau et du ciel. La palette de couleurs, principalement composée de bleus, beiges et bruns, crée une harmonie visuelle typique des estampes de Hokusai. Une inscription en japonais en haut à droite, encadrée dans une cartouche rouge, indique le titre de l'œuvre et peut-être la signature de l'artiste, soulignant l'authenticité et la maîtrise de Hokusai dans la représentation des forces naturelles et de la vie quotidienne au Japon pendant la période Edo.

Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter, and printmaker who lived during the Edo period (late 18th to early 19th century). Katsushika Hokusai began his artistic career as a woodblock printmaker's apprentice at a young age. Over the course of his lifetime, Hokusai produced a vast body of work, encompassing a wide range of subjects and styles.

One of Hokusai's defining characteristics as an artist was his relentless experimentation and dedication to his craft. He adopted various artistic names throughout his career, each reflecting a new phase of his artistic development. He was known to have created over 30,000 works during his lifetime, including not only prints but also paintings, sketches, and illustrations for books.

Hokusai's "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" series, created in the early 1830s when he was in his seventies, remains one of his most enduring and celebrated achievements. The series captures the iconic Japanese landmark from different perspectives and in various seasons, showcasing Hokusai's mastery of composition and his ability to evoke a sense of awe and reverence for nature.

In addition to landscapes, Hokusai was also known for his depictions of animals, supernatural creatures, and scenes from Japanese mythology. His meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion and movement through his brushwork set him apart as a master of his craft.

Hokusai's influence extended far beyond Japan, with his works inspiring countless artists around the world, including Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Edgar Degas. His innovative approach to composition, use of color, and bold graphic style laid the groundwork for the development of modern art movements such as Impressionism and Art Nouveau.

Despite facing numerous personal and professional challenges throughout his life, including financial hardships and the devastation of the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, Hokusai remained dedicated to his art until his death in 1849 at the age of 88. Today, his legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide, ensuring that his name will be remembered as one of the greatest artists in Japanese history.
