Hokusai (XXL Volume)

This weighty volume is comfortably the most complete publication on perhaps Japan’s most famous artist, Hokusai Maximus, sourcing images of artworks from over 100 institutions worldwide. Looking far beyond ‘The Great Wave’, this monograph features 746 woodblock prints, paintings, sketches, and book illustrations, many of them in granular detail, including both familiar and lesser known, rarely reprinted artworks. Accompanying texts by Andreas Marks place Hokusai’s works in historical context, exploring his influence on Western artists such as Degas and Gauguin despite never leaving Japan himself.
