Hokusai's prints, most notably the famous Great Wave of Kanagawa, are considered the epitome of Japanese style and became the central point of reference for many pioneers of Western modernism. Artists from van Gogh and Monet to Gauguin and Morisot, from Cassatt to Klimt, drew inspiration from his lines, his flat colorations, and his bold compositions. Our volume offers an overview of Hokusai's incomprehensible 70-year career, during which he explored and continually reinvented a wide variety of genres.
