Author: HokusaiPainter, book illustrator and print designer Katsushika Hokusai has become one of the most famous and influential artists in the world. This book looks at Hokusai from the viewpoint of fellow artists who incorporated lessons learned from him into their own work, including Hokusai’s own students, his contemporary rivals and his many posthumous admirers working in a wide range of mediums, in Japan and around the world, from the late 19th century to the present. Hokusai was a key figure for the Japonisme movement in late 19th-century Europe, and his iconic images – especially the colour woodblock print nicknamed 'The Great Wave' – are frequently referred to in present-day art in both serious and frivolous forms, from sculpture, printmaking and painting to anime and emojis.Artists include: Félix Bracquemond, John Cederquist, Arthur Wesley Dow, Hiroshige, Sōri Hishikawa, Hokkei, Hokusai, Winslow Homer, Loïs Mailou Jones, Henri Gustave Jossot, Shun’ei Katsukawa, Shunshō Katsukawa, Ōi Katsushika, Eisen Keisai, Korin, Kuniyoshi, Paul Legrand, Manjirō Hokuga, Ogata Kōrin, Odilon Redon, Henri Rivière, Hōitsu Sakai, Hokuju Shōtei, Hokushū Shunkōsai, Kogan Tobari, Hokkei Totoya, Toyoharu Utagawa, Utamasa, Édouard Vuillard, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Samuel Wilson and Shigenobu Yanagawa.ISBN 9780878468904.
