Cuckoo and azaleas - Hokusai
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
In Cuckoo and Azaleas, Hokusai paints a scene where nature and wildlife merge in peaceful harmony. A cuckoo, in full flight, seems to be singing its melodious song, its plumage contrasting with the azaleas in bloom, tinted in soft hues. The solemn bird provides a focal point, while the blossoming flowers create a natural setting around it, evoking a sense of serenity.
This painting is in the vein of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art focusing on scenes of the floating world. In this work, Hokusai combines animal portraits and floral landscapes, highlighting his ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of nature. It's a subtle invitation to linger over the details and soak up the tranquillity of the moment.
