Palazzo Blu Exhibition: Hokusai
In Pisa, for the first time, Palazzo Blu is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to the Japanese master Hokusai (Katsushika Hokusai; Edo -now Tokyo-, 1760 - 1849), from Oct. 24, 2024 until Feb. 23, 2025, produced and organized by Fondazione @PalazzoBluPisa and @MondoMostre, with the contribution of Fondazione Pisa, curated by Rossella Menegazzo, professor and expert in East Asian Art History at the University of Milan.
Through more than 200 works from the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art in Genoa and the Museum of Oriental Art in Venice, as well as from private Italian and Japanese collections, the exhibition highlights the eclecticism of the greatest master of the ukiyoe artistic strand, literally translated “images of the Floating World.” which marked the pinnacle of the development of Edo-era art (1603 - 1868) in Japan, and the richness of his legacy evident in the works of the many pupils who continued his style, but also in the unquestionable influence he exerted on late 19th-century European art and continues to have on so many contemporary artists who are inspired by him.
