Description

Hokusai Pop-ups by Courtney Watson McCarthy explores the work of Hokusai (1760-1849), an extraordinarily prolific Japanese master artist and printmaker of the ukiyo-e ('pictures of the floating world') genre. More than 150 years after his death, his legacy remains as important as any Western painter's. His work inspired a roll-call of great artists including Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Gauguin, Manet, Degas, and Klimt, as well as craftsmen and architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright.

This book features six meticulously crafted pop-ups of some of his most famous works: The Great Wave; Chrysanthemums and Horsefly; The Poem of Ariwara no Narihira or Autumn Leaves; Kirituri Waterfall; Phoenix; and A Sudden Gust of Wind.
