Description

This book contains 262 high-quality annotated reproductions with details of prints and drawings by Katsushika Hokusai. Some people say that the "devils in the details" and generally; they are right. Looking out for the small details in one picture is a good practice; since in most of the cases small but ultimately important details is the heart of a great authors idea. This title aims to help you see the details of his works; his secrets are not in his words; they are in his works. Look close up at Hokusairsquo;s prints and drawings; and that tell you what you cannot see but need to know and that should be enough. Katsushika Hokusai was a brilliant artist; ukiyo-e painter and print maker; best known for his wood block print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. Hokusairsquo;s artistic influence has stretched to have affected the Art Nouveau style in Europe; including Claude Monet; Pierre-Auguste Renoir; and Hermann Obrist; all of whom have themes similar to Hokusairsquo;s.
