Vagues violentes

Ogata Kōrin Japanese
ca. 1704–9
Not on view
Combien d’artistes et de poètes ont tenté de saisir l’image fugitive de la houle qui se lève et qui se brise ? Le rendu de la peinture d’Ogata Kōrin communique une impression étrangement menaçante, sans doute attribuable à l’écume dont les longs tentacules crochus sont percés d’ouvertures ici et là. Soulignées à l’encre selon la technique chinoise ancienne consistant à dessiner à deux pinceaux tenus d’une seule main, ces vagues aux allures de griffes ont peut-être été inspirées par une image de l’artiste Sesson Shūkei (v. 1504–v. 1589), de l’ère de Muromachi. Le paravent est marqué d’un sceau où se lit le mot Dōsū, soit le nom adopté par Kōrin en 1704.
