Hokusai’s Landscapes: The Complete Series
$50.00
The best known of all Japanese artists, Katsushika Hokusai was active as a painter, book illustrator and print designer throughout his 90-year lifespan.
Details
His most famous works—the color woodblock landscape prints issued in series—were produced within a relatively short time, in an amazing burst of creative energy that lasted from about 1830 to 1836. Hokusai’s landscapes revolutionized Japanese printmaking and became icons of world art within a few decades of the artist’s death.
This is the first book to focus exclusively on this pivotal body of work and features stunning color reproductions from the incomparable Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Hokusai’s Landscapes examines the magnetic appeal of Hokusai’s designs and the circumstances of their creation.
