Hokusai's Great Wave
ISBN: 9780714124674
(PB+ - E)
€
The Great Wave is a colour woodblock print designed by Japanese artist Hokusai in around 1830. The print, of which numerous multiples were made, shows a monster of a wave rearing up and about to come crashing down on three fishing boats and their crews. This beautifully illustrated book explores the meaning behind Hokusais Great Wave, in the context of the Mount Fuji series and Japanese art as a whole. Taking an intimate look at the Waves artistic and historical significance and its influence on popular culture, this concise introduction explains why Hokusais modern masterpiece had such an impact after its creation in 1830 and why it continues to fascinate, inspire and challenge today.
