The artist known as Hokusai
(1760-1849) created some of Japan's most celebrat ed and influential
masterpieces. So far-reaching was his appeal that his prints, paintings and
illustrated books were collected by foreign visitors to Japan and both
exhibited and reproduced in Europe within his own lifetime. Later, his designs
captivated a generation of French painters, thereby launching Japonisme, a
stylistic movement that shaped the development of modern art. An icon of
Japanese art, Hokusai's Under the Wave off Kanagawa (c. 1830/31; ill. p. 64).
also known as The Great Wave, has been endlessly imitated, parodied and ab
stracted into corporate logos and consumer goods - yet his restless genius ex
tended far beyond the wave's unfurling mass of brilliant blue. Hokusai's
indelible mark across time and continents continues to set him aside as the
most eminent Japanese artist, not only in Japan, but also throughout the
Western world.
 
 
Hokusai created an estimated
30,000 designs over his lifetime. His works belong to the category of ukiyo-e,
"pictures of the floating world", which sought to depict the
hedonistic pleasures of the mortal world - from kabuki actors and landscapes to
beautiful women and erotic scenes. This new genre flourished among the
sophisticated and increasingly wealthy inhabitants of the city of Edo
(present-day Tokyo), the seat of the military government (or shogunate) which
held power from 1603 to 1868. Ukiyo-e generally refers to mass-produced
woodblock-printed images which could be issued as loose sheets or as
illustrated books, but can also include paintings on paper or silk.
