Hokusai
Hokusai’s landscapes turn mountains, water and weather into striking arrangements of colour and line. Rhiannon Paget’s illustrated introduction places those celebrated images within a much broader career, following an artist who worked across prints, painting, book illustration and other subjects. His views of Mount Fuji are an important part of that story.
This 96-page Basic Art volume combines biography with key works and explanatory commentary. It offers an accessible route into Japanese art and the compositional ideas that later attracted European artists, including Monet and Van Gogh. The book surveys Hokusai’s career rather than reproducing only landscape works; it is a useful starting point for readers interested in nature imagery and the art of looking.
