context: painting > sources100 Views of Mount Fuji by Timothy ClarkThe catalogue from a British Museum show that I loved. The 17 pages of text focus on perceptions of Fuji rather than very much on the art, but there are good write-ups on each of the 120 (including some not in the show) images - though quite a lot is curatorial stuff about the quality of the British Museum's prints. 49 of the colour repros are by Hokusai, including all 46 of the 36 Views set, and there are about 20 by Hiroshige. |
