« An important question to ask yourself when photographing sculpture is whether you should try to show off the artist's vision by photographing the sculpture as accurately as possible, or whether you should capture it in a way that expresses what you see in it.»

Two Ducks & Iris

The flat-perspective and strong colors of Japanese woodcuts, especially those of Katsushika Hokusai, had a strong effect on Art Nouveau.

Katsushika Hokusai created several series of birds and flowers. The genre is called kachô-e, although it also includes other scenes from nature. Hokusai's kachô-e series included the horizontal oban-sized so-called Large Flower series and the vertical chûban-size, Small Flower series. Published circa 1834.
