Through his elegant brush paintings and masterful woodblocks, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) became one of Japan's most internationally-renowned artists. A master of Ukiyo-e art, he single-handedly transformed the art form from a simple style focused on courtesans and famous actors into a grander style depicting the beauty of nature seen through landscapes and wildlife. His style of art and subject evolved as many times as he changed his name, but Hokusai's talent as an artist remained constant and his influential role in later art movements such as Art Nouveau and Impressionism remains eterna.
"Katsushika Hokusai est sans doute l'artiste japonais le plus connu en Occident, et ce, depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle. Reflet de l'expression artistique d'une civilisation isolée, les œuvres de Hokusai, qui furent parmi les premières en provenance du Japon à émerger en Europe, influencèrent particulièrement les peintres impressionnistes et post-impressionnistes, tels que Vincent van Gogh. Considéré de son vivant comme un maître de l'estampe Ukiyo-e, Hokusai fascine par la variété et l'étendue de son Œuvre. Son travail, de près de quatre-vingt-dix ans, est présenté ici dans toute son importance et sa diversité."
"Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) ist mit seinen eleganten Gemälden und meisterhaften Holzschnitten der international renommierteste Künstler Japans. Als ein Meister der Ukiyo-e-Kunst transferierte er alleine diese Kunstform von einem einfachen, auf Abbildungen von Kurtisanen und berühmten Schauspielern fokussierten Stil zu einem gehobeneren Stil, der die Schönheit der Natur durch Landschaften und Tierwelten darstellt. Der Stil und die Gegenstände in seiner Kunst entwickelten sich so oft weiter, wie er seinen Namen änderte. Aber Hokusais künstlerisches Talent blieb beständig, und er hatte eine ei."

"À travers ses peintures élégantes et ses estampes sur bois sublimes, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) est devenu l'un des artistes japonais les plus reconnu au monde. D'un style simple, mettant en scène des courtisanes et des acteurs célèbres, Hokusai a transformé l'art ukiyo-e en un style élaboré dépeignant la beauté de la nature au travers des représentations de paysage et de faune. Son style et ses sujets ont évolué aussi souvent que son nom, mais le talent d'Hokusai en tant qu'artiste est resté le même, et son influence dans des mouvements postérieurs tel que l'Art Nouveau et l'impressionnis."

"Without a doubt, Katsushika Hokusai is the most famous Japanese artist since the middle of the nineteenth century whose art is known to the Western world. Reflecting the artistic expression of an isolated civilisation, the works of Hokusai - one of the first Japanese artists to emerge in Europe - greatly influenced the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters, such as Vincent van Gogh. Considered during his life as a living Ukiyo-e master, Hokusai fascinates us with the variety and the significance of his work, which spanned almost ninety years and is presented here in all its breadth and."@en
"Maître incontesté de l'estampe japonaise, Hokusai n'a cessé d'inspirer les artistes occidentaux, en particulier les peintres impressionnistes. Il a traité tous les sujets, profanes et sacrés, et il est aussi célèbre pour ses vues du mont Fuji que pour ses planches érotiques. Complément utile de vos visites, réelles ou virtuelles, ce livre abondamment illustré propose une plaisante introduction à la vie, à l'œuvre, aux techniques et aux thématiques de l'artiste, emblématique de l'Ukiyo-e."
