Hokusai - Prints and Drawings

Exquisite Japanese artistry; Hokusai's timeless genius.

As someone intrigued by both historical art and Japanese culture, you'll find this volume a treasure. It's not just a glimpse into Hokusai's celebrated works but a portal into 18th and 19th-century Japan itself. The vibrant full-color reproductions and insightful commentary by Matthi Forrer enhance the experience, capturing the essence of Hokusai's influence and the timelessness of his craft.

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

Now available again, this book presents a selection of Hokusai's work known for its exquisite style and marvelous inventiveness. This volume includes full-color reproductions of drawings and woodblock prints by Hokusai, one of Japan's most revered artists. His landscapes--including the famous views of Mount Fuji--portraits of lovers and kabuki actors, nature and animal illustrations, as well as scenes of daily life in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan reveal the artist's genius for rendering a wide variety of subjects. Author Matthi Forrer discusses Hokusai's life and lasting popularity while placing his work within the context of Japanese society and the work of his contemporaries.
