| Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a Japanese painter and book illustrator. Hokusai was the most famous ukiyo-e designer of colour prints and he began as a wood engraver and was a pupil of the painter and printmaker Shunsho. Hokusai is best known for his later landscapes which influenced the Impressionists and post Impressionists. Hokusai’s most famous works include ‘Views of Mount Fuji’ (1835) and his collection of sketchbooks, the ‘Hokusai Manga’ published from 1814 onwards. |
 | Hokusai: Prints and Drawings Hokusai was one of the great masters of the Japanese woodblock print. His exquisite compositions and dynamic use of colour set him apart from other printmakers, and his unequalled genius influenced both Japanese and a whole generation of Western artists. This book reproduces the artist's finest works in plates that convey the full variety of his invention, each of which is provided with an informative commentary. more information>>
