Dziś "Historia sztuki w komiksie" w wersji nieplanowanej, będąca efektem przypadkowego znaleziska. Po dwóch latach od zakupu w końcu sięgnąłem po zbiorczaka "4 Kids Walk Into a Bank" i na piątej stronie właściwego komiksu trafiłem na to.
U góry: Hokusai, "Wielka fala w Kanagawie" ("Kanagawaoki namiura"), ok. 1830-1833.
Na dole: "4 Kids Walk Into a Bank", nr 1, 2016, scen. Matthew Rosenberg, rys. i tusz Tyler Boss.
Lessons on How to Draw by Hokusai via Kottke [Shared]
In 1812, Japanese woodblock print artist Katsushika Hokusai, who would later become famous for his iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa prints, published a three-volume series called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing. All three volumes are available online: one, two, three. Even if you’re not in the market for drawing lessons, the pages are wonderful to flip through.
The image shows an open book with two pages filled with detailed black and white sketches. The left page features two drawings of animals, possibly dogs, with geometric shapes and lines used to outline their forms. The top drawing shows a dog with a black and white coat, sitting with a circular and oval shape around it. Below, another dog is depicted with a similar geometric approach, including a diamond shape. Japanese text is present next to each drawing.
The right page contains a drawing of a mouse among grapes, with geometric shapes and lines used to depict the mouse and the grapes. The mouse is positioned on a vine with large leaves, and the grapes are clustered around it. The page also includes a hexagon and other geometric shapes, along with Japanese text. The paper appears aged, with a yellowish tint, suggesting it is an old document.
