【DESCRIPTION】
Title Hokusai Exhibition
Publication Year 1993
This book was published as a catalogue of an Exhibition held in 1993.
The English preface says,"Born and bred in old Edo,Hokusai by now occupies a firm place in the history world art.The present exhbition bears witness to his greatness with a wide selection of the very finest of his work,culled from collections both in Japan and abroad.
In the course of his seventy-year artistic career ,Katsushika Hokusai produced works in a whole variety of different genres,including brush paintings,wood cut prints,and picture books.In the latter half of the nineteenth century ,lare quantities of that work were taken abroad,where it experted a generlly admitted inflluence on ,among others,European Impressionists."
Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎, Katsushika Hokusai 1760–May 10, 1849) was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. In his time he was Japan's leading expert on Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1831) which includes the iconic and internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s. Hokusai created the "Thirty-Six Views" both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave print and Fuji in Clear Weather, that secured Hokusai’s fame both within Japan and overseas. As historian Richard Lane concludes, “Indeed, if there is one work that made Hokusai's name, both in Japan and abroad, it must be this monumental print-series...” . While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition and left a lasting impact on the art world. It was The Great Wave print that initially received, and continues to receive, acclaim and popularity in the Western world.
