Description

Hokusai

Japan's most famous ukiyo-e printmaker in the Edo period (1603–1868), Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) was the author of a world-famous work: The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831), which is among the equally famous “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”. The man who nicknamed himself "the drawing madman" also gained fame with his popular erotic and fantastic prints, as well as his important collection of various patterns and sketches: the Hokusai manga. This very prolific artist embodies Japanese spirituality and the celebration of an animist nature through his work. The discovery of his prints was a major aesthetic shock for European artists at the end of the 19th century.

Hokusai broke away from his teacher, attended several schools, and began to publish his first poetry collections. Around 1800, he adopted the name that would make him famous: Hokusai (meaning "Workshop of the North") in homage to a Buddhist deity he admired.

Hokusai, the painter in search of the absolute and master of illusion, devotes a cult to natural elements, respect that leads him to magnify their monumentality. The artist does not hesitate to indulge in innovative experiments, in particular using Prussian blue, a pigment recently introduced in Japan, which gives his views an exceptional intensity of color. But it was as a landscape painter that he imposed his original talent, combining his knowledge of traditional Japanese techniques with his curiosity for Western painting.
