From March 29 to September 28, 2025, the Museo Civico Luigi Bailo in Treviso will host the exhibition Hokusai – Water and the Secret of the Great Wave, curated by Paolo Linetti. The exhibition explores the artistic journey of Katsushika Hokusai, master of ukiyo-e, focusing on The Great Wave, one of the most famous images in the world. The theme of water, a symbolic and narrative element, is examined through a collection of about 150 works that allow us to follow the evolution of his technique and style.
The exhibition path retraces the different phases of study that led to the creation of the perfect wave, revealing the combination of artistic sensibility and scientific rigor. The comparison with other contemporary Japanese masters, including Kunisada, Utamaro, and Kuniyoshi, highlights the originality of his graphics and the impact his visual language had on subsequent generations.
The exhibition also offers an in-depth analysis of Hokusai's compositional technique, illuminating the connections with Renaissance European art and the geometric insights underlying his works. A unique opportunity to discover the constructive method of an artist who knew how to combine tradition and innovation, influencing both Eastern and Western art.
The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
