EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hokusai, titled "Fox" transports us to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. The artist's mastery of woodblock printing is evident in this exquisite work of art. The fox, a symbol of cunning and wisdom in Japanese folklore, takes center stage against a backdrop of muted grey tones. Hokusai's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures the texture and fur of the fox with delicate precision. The white coloration adds an ethereal quality to the creature, enhancing its mythical allure. Through his skillful use of block printing techniques, Hokusai brings depth and dimensionality to the image. As we gaze upon this piece at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to a world where nature and spirituality intertwine seamlessly. The fox becomes more than just an animal; it embodies ancient tales and legends passed down through generations. The Picture Book of Realistic Paintings of Hokusai serves as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists. This particular print showcases his ability to capture both realism and imagination within a single composition. With each brushstroke or carved line on woodblock, Hokusai invites us into his artistic vision—a world where animals hold symbolic significance and beauty lies in every intricate detail.
