Hokusai Prints and Drawings (Art Flexi) /anglais - Softcover

The text is knowledgeable and informs us in an easy manner while the catalogue of the artist's work is divided into subject matter with each print beautifully reproduced and explained. This is a wonderful book that is long overdue... --Ryedale Gazette & Herald, 7th Oct 2009

As a publication, Hokusai by Matthi Forrer is in itself a work of art. Its scope, detail, and meticulous production, all combine to create a book that is beautiful and sumptuous as it is readable. --Living Design September 2011

This volume includes full-color reproductions of drawings and woodblock prints by Japan's most beloved artist. These landscapes-including his famous views of Mount Fuji- portraits of lovers and kabuki actors, nature and animal illustrations, as well as scenes of daily life in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Japan reveal the artist's genius for rendering a wide variety of subjects. Matthi Forrer discusses in his essay Hokusai's life and lasting popularity while placing his work within the context of Japanese society and the work of his contemporaries.
