Description
Hokusai 1760-1849 by Rhiannon Paget is a comprehensive introduction to the life and work of one of Japan's most influential artists. Spanning the artist's career, the book explores Hokusai's prolific output, from single-sheet prints of landscapes and actors to erotic books, album prints, and illustrations for verse anthologies and historical novels. Key pieces from his far-reaching portfolio are showcased, including the iconic Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series, which includes the famous Under the Wave off Kanagawa. Hokusai's art is characterized by its restlessness, reflecting the artist's own nomadic lifestyle, which saw him change domicile over 90 times and adopt multiple pseudonyms. This TASCHEN publication offers a detailed look at the artist's techniques, styles, and influences, shedding light on the significance of his work in the development of Western modernism and beyond. Through its extensive selection of images and insightful commentary, Hokusai 1760-1849 provides a valuable insight into the life and art of this Japanese master, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in art, history, and ukiyo-e.
