KATSUSHIKA Hokusai (1760 - 1849)
KATSUSHIKA Hokusai, one of the most important representatives of the Ukiyo-e genre, became renowned for his independent style, which is exhibited in the famous woodblock print series ‘Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji’. In his younger years, at the age of 18, he learned and perfected the art of color woodblock printing, working in a workshop with the Ukiyo-e master Katsukawa Shunshō, founder of the Katsukawa School. Hokusai’s first works, which are characterized by the delicate personal features of the sitters, date back to the year 1779. Due to Japan’s isolation from the outside world, Hokusai's art was at first only distributed within his home country. In the mid-19th century Dutch merchants brought his works to Europe, where they became a source of inspiration for various artists and movements, such as the Art Nouveau.
