<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This publication and the exhibtion it accompanies also commemorate the centennial of the largest gift of Japanese art ever made to the Museum, donated by Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow in 1911."--Page 7.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Katsushika Hokusai remains one of Japan's most popular and influential artists. This handy volume presents the wide range of Hokusai's artistic production in terms of one of his most remarkable characteristics: his intellectual ingenuity. It explores the question of how the self-styled Man Mad about Drawing approached his subjects--how he depicted human bodies in motion, combined figures and landscapes, represented three-dimensional objects on two-dimensional surfaces and when he used the techniques of illusionism or adjusted reality for greater visual or emotional effect. Including some 50 stunning and unusual paintings, prints and drawings from the peerless Hokusai collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this book is a treasure trove that introduces readers to a witty, wide-ranging and inimitably ingenious Hokusai. <p/>Known by at least 30 other names during his lifetime, <b>Katsushika Hokusai</b> (1760-1849) was an <i>ukiyo-e</i> painter and printmaker of the Edo period. In 1800, he published his two classic collections of landscapes, <i>Famous Sights of the Eastern Capital</i> and <i>Eight Views of Edo</i>. His influence extended to his Western contemporaries in nineteenth-century Europe, including Degas, Gauguin, Klimt, Franz Marc, August Macke, Manet and van Gogh.
