Through painting and sculpture, Bonacorsi invites us to reflect on certain coincidences that connect Eastern and Western art:
-Cézanne painted and drew Mont Sainte-Victoire around fifty times. His final work on the subject, dated between 1905 and 1906, is housed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
-Hokusai painted Mount Fuji thirty-six times. In the introduction to the volume One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, it is suggested that this practice may have granted him longevity.
-In the background of Van Gogh’s portrait of Père Tanguy, a reproduction of a view of Mount Fuji by Hokusai peeks through.
-Chang Tsao, an 8th-century Chinese artist, made no distinction between the Tao and the act of painting.
