The Great Wave…
12:53 p.m.Between 1830 and 1832, Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai created one of the most iconic images in art history Under the Wave off Kanagawa, renamed by popular culture as The Great Wave. The painting, which is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, stands out for the quality of its details and its vibrant colors. It is said that Hokusai was lucky enough to hear Debussy's composition La Mer (The Sea) and that piece was the “inspiration” for this iconic piece.
The Great Wave is the image that was reproduced the most times in all types of formats and objects and was the first print on paper of a work from the MET museum collection. So it's no surprise that it was chosen to integrate the Frameless, the immersive art experience in central London.
Let's agree that we are only moved by the experience of the “aura’ (the presence of the work created by the artist), but in any case we attend these shows in which the visitor is included intimately with the works, thanks to technology.

Appropriation of The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai
Frameless Immersive Art, London
Although the Prussian blue in the projection does not feel quite the same and although the barges that face the giant wave are almost not detected, the intention is achieved and the experience leaves us thinking:
How did Katsushika Hokusai achieve this visual dynamism? Is it thanks to the color mix? Or the details of the drawing of the wave that breaks over the boat on the left? The truth is that The Great Wave represented in two dimensions feels three-dimensional.
