- Summary:
-
Katsushika Hokusai is regarded as one of the most influential and creative minds in the history of Japanese art. His unique social observations, innovative approach to design and mastery of the brush, made him the most famous and popular artist of Edo period Japan as well as an internationally recognised artist. In 1909 the NGV purchased five works from Hokusai's iconic Thirty-six views of Mt Fuji series including his most celebrated image The great wave, two works from his Tour of famous waterfallsseries and four other major works. These astute acquisitions established a legacy of Japanese art in Australia that has now extended for over one hundred years. A selection of NGV Collection works including The great wave will be exhibited as exhibition focus points beside corresponding works from the Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, giving visitors the opportunity to view different impressions of the same image side-by-side and allowing the NGV's Hokusai prints to be put in a scholarly context for the first time. Exhibition at NGV INTERNATIONAL from 21 JUL 17 - 15 OCT 17.
