SynopsisThe first Japanese artist to become widely known in the West, Katsushika Hokusai's influence on American and European art, design and culture remains unparalleled. This book features a selection of 60 of the master's woodcut prints, culled from the complete series of the 'Manga' volumes., More than a hundred years before Japanese comics swept the globe, the master engraver Hokusai was producing beautiful, surreal, and often downright wacky sketches and drawings, filled with many of the characters and themes found in modernmanga. These out-of-context caricatures, which include studies of facial expressions, postures, and situations ranging from the mundane to the otherworldly, demonstrate both the artist’s style and his taste. In addition to the landscapes for which he is beloved, Hokusai’smangasreveal his compassion for farmers, artisans, and peasants, as well as his keen eye for the absurd.
