About "The Great Wave of Warhol (Kanagawa) Pop Art, Fuji, Japan"
by Roger VDB
About the artwork
An Andy Warhol-inspired interpretation of "the great wave of Kanagawa", one of the most famous works of art ever created in Japan.
Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura is a woodcut (ukiyo-e) by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. It is the first piece of the Thirty-six faces on Mount Fuji and Hokusai's most famous work. He published it in 1832.
The work of art shows several boats trying to sail on a sea of giant waves. The biggest wave threatens to crush the rowers. In this wave a monster with claws can be seen and it represents the power of nature but also the power of the rowers. Possibly this wave should represent a tsunami, but given its shape it is not. The area around Kanagawa (on the bay of Tokyo) was destroyed by such a tsunami in the 15th century.
In the background is Mount Fuji, which appears in all 36 works of art. The mountain may also be depicted in the wave in the foreground.
