Description: "Taking a new approach to the work of the ever-popular Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), this major exhibition explores in detail his impact on other artists, both during his lifetime and beyond. Throughout a career of more than 70 years, Hokusai experimented with a wide range of styles and subjects, producing landscapes such as the instantly recognizable Great Wave and Red Fuji (both about 1830-31), nature studies known as: bird-and-flower pictures, and depictions of women, heroes, and monsters. The exhibition brings together over 90 woodblock prints, paintings, and illustrated books by Hokusai with some 170 works by his teachers, students, rivals, and admirers. These unique juxtapositions demonstrate Hokusai's influence through time and space, seen in works by, among others, his daughter Katsushika, his contemporaries Utagawa Hiroshige and Utagawa Kuniyoshi, the 19th-century French Japonistes, and modern and contemporary artists including Loèis Mailou Jones, Yayoi Kusama, John Cederquist, and Yoshitomo Nara. Exhibition: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA (26.03.-16.07.2023)"--
Review Quotes: In Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence, one of the greatest of all printmakers appears at the nucleus of a worldwide cultural transformation, in which art became more urbane and more fleeting, and the observed world got flattened out into signs and symbols.--Jason Farago "The New York Times: Arts"
