Hokusai - A Graphic Biography

by Francesco Matteuzzi, Giuseppe Latanza
Hokusai - A Graphic Biography
Hokusai - A Graphic Biography

Exploring Hokusai's vibrant life in visceral visuals.

If you cherish both art and storytelling, this graphic biography of Hokusai is a treat. It blends the kinetic energy of manga with the historical depth of a traditional biography. You'll get a sense of the master behind the iconic 'Great Wave' through a blend of rich illustrations and compelling narrative that brings to life the Edo period of Japan.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A stunning visual biography of one of Japan's most famous historical artists, this book beautifully illustrates the story of Katsushika Hokusai. Enter the world of Katsushika Hokusai – the enigmatic creator of Japanese art's all-time most iconic image. This vivid graphic biography tells the story of Hokusai's intriguing life and pioneering works, details the fascinating historical context of Edo-era Japan, and explains how Hokusai forged an image of his country that still resonates across the world today. Telling the story of both his eccentric (and incredibly productive) life – while simultaneously painting a fascinating picture of his wider cultural legacy, this book is ideal for both those new to Hokusai's work – and his biggest fans. Those who enjoyed A Graphic Novel by Paolo Parisi or Pollock A Graphic Novel by Onofrio Catacchio should look at this too.
