Now available again, this delightful selection of prints depicting
nineteenth century Japan's natural beauty is a colorful
introduction to the country's most beloved artist. The Japanese
artist Hokusai spent the second half of his life sketching and
painting with tremendous energy nearly everything he saw, and this
book focuses on one of his most productive periods, when the artist
was in his seventies. This book presents fifty works of the
artist's astonishing oeuvre. It includes selections from his
renowned series of woodblock prints, Thirty-Six Views of Mount
Fuji, including "In the Hollow of a Wave," "Shower below the
Summit," and "South Wind at Clear Dawn." Also presented are images
of flowers, waterfalls, bridges, birds, and fish, demonstrating the
uniquely precise yet passionate quality of Hokusai's art. An expert
on the artist's work, Matthi Forrer provides illuminating
commentary on Hokusai's life and technique, offering insight into
his enduring
popularity throughout the world.
