The work of photographer Jeff Wall utilizes previous art in order to give his photographes meaning. One of Wall’s pieces of art is A Sudden Gust of Wind, and it takes inspiration from another famous piece of artwork by Hokusai named Ejiri in Suruga Province. The two pieces of art share a very obvious resemblance to each other being that Wall’s purpose was to recreate Hokusai’s previous work.

Even the people and their actions were recreated with papers flying through the air and people holding their hats.
