There's a nostalgia of cultural tenderness, shaped linear by the tides of artistry, polyglot in essence and temporary in its permanence.
The peach, the faded coral, the cold blues of the glass, the tale of impressions, and the pale humanity. There's a blush to the paper though, a fire of noticeable entrelacé, like a petit geste in Petipa's.
The undiluted pearls of art travel the seas. They bridge the lines of time. The only way to enjoy them is to rise with them through the theatre of coastal waters.
Forever seductive in the candid perspective of drawing, Hokusai's work strikes a dimension of peace similar to the costume rehearsal before a première. It's the tender sigh of the minuscule mass that moves the softness of the grand light.
