Krátky popis
A deluxe large-format edition of this beautifully illustrated
introduction to Katsushika Hokusai, the most prolific artist of
Japan’s Edo period, and master of ukiyo-e – ‘images of the floating
world’. Hokusai: the blue, foam-crested wave rearing above Mount
Fuji, the celebrated volcano idealized and reinvented by the artist
in every nuance of view, season and painting, extraordinary
bridges, the waterfalls of Japan, the contortions, costumes,
gestures – the very breath of men, women, peasants, townsmen,
warriors, artisans, leaping horses, birds, insects, fish, almost
live on the ground on which they are painted – the countless
imaginative drawings or the lively sketches done on the spot for
the Manga, Hokusai’s record of shapes and forms drawn from life or
imagined over time. With a body of work comprising more than 30,000
drawings and paintings, Hokusai (1760–1849) was the most prolific,
varied and indisputably the most creative artist of old Japan.A
universal genius in everything that constituted drawing and
painting in his time, he practised all genres of ukiyo-e, those
‘images of the floating world’, as his contemporaries liked to
describe their pleasures and their daily life. This book traces the
career of this child from a working-class district of old Tokyo,
then known as Edo, evoking the special atmosphere of this great
city and of Japanese life, when Japan – closed to foreigners –
developed in a vacuum a powerfully original culture. Hokusai became
one of the great masters of the woodcut, this ‘brush gone wild’, as
he called himself, being rediscovered by the Impressionists and
aesthetes at the end of the 19th century.He remains one of the
greatest and – thanks to his personality – one of the most
attractive figures of world art.
